In the Nov. 5, 1993 issue of "DC," we reported the 75,000 matching funds challenge offered to Logan College of Chiropractic by William Harris, DC, president of the Foundation for the Advancement of Chiropractic Education (FACE). Logan needed to raise $75,000 in cash (not pledges) by December 15, 1993 to receive the matching funds from FACE.
By the Dec. 15th deadline, Logan had not only met the challenge, but exceeded it by $52,337 and change. The $127,337.91 raised by Logan from alumni and friends of the college, and the $75,000 from FACE will go toward Logan's endowment fund. (For those of you who hate doing math, that's $202,337.91.)
"We are very grateful to the Foundation for offering this challenge," said Logan President Dr. George Goodman, crediting Dr. William Harris with motivating the college and its supporters to exceed all fundraising expectations.
When sports chiropractors first appeared at the Olympic Games in the 1980s, it was alongside individual athletes who had experienced the benefits of chiropractic care in their training and recovery processes at home. Fast forward to Paris 2024, where chiropractic care was available in the polyclinic for all athletes, and the attitude has now evolved to recognize that “every athlete deserves access to sports chiropractic."
It is estimated that 61% of patients with CTS avoid taking surgical options due to postoperative complications and costly surgical procedures. Chiropractic care offers a comprehensive and effective treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome, addressing the condition from multiple angles. Recent studies also have unveiled a game-changing adjunct to chiropractic treatments for CTS: nerve flossing.
Some doctors thrive in a personality-based clinic and have a loyal following no matter what services or equipment they offer, but for most chiropractic offices who are trying to grow and expand, new equipment purchases help us stay relevant and continue to service our client base in the best, most up-to-date manner possible. So, regarding equipment purchasing: should you lease, get a bank loan, or pay cash?
