Kent L. Boyer, DC, has been appointed chairman for the Parker College of Chiropractic's Center for Chiropractic Sciences. He'll begin his new duties April 1st.
Prior to accepting the position, Dr. Boyer served as assistant professor of chiropractic studies at New York Chiropractic College and was assistant professor of chiropractic science at Parker from 1989-1991. A 1987 Palmer graduate, Dr. Boyer also has a MS in health care administration from the University of Osteopathic Medicine and Health Sciences, and is an MS candidate in public administration at City University in Seattle, Washington.

The Palmer College of Chiropractic West (PCCW) campuses in Sunnyvale and Santa Clara will merge and relocate in the summer of 1993 to a new campus at 90 East Tasman, San Jose, California. PCCW President Dr. Peter Martin announced the move and said, "Palmer West is deserving of a home that is truly our own."
Dr. Martin explained that the new building offers better classrooms, more efficient labs, and an improved overall layout.
With the help of the local Salvation Army and the Quad-city community, Palmer Davenport plans to open its first Community Outreach satellite clinic this spring. The clinic will be located in a converted apartment building in Davenport purchased by the Salvation Army. There will be faculty offices, a waiting room, three adjusting rooms, a student lounge, an x-ray room, and a lab. The clinic will serve the needs of all the community members, even those without the means to pay for treatment. Dr. Jeanne Black, Community Outreach Director, said, "We have developed a program where anyone is welcome without charge -- the homeless and elderly, and those who just can't afford health care."
Eventually, the clinic will be open four days-a-week, five hours per day, and will increase the number of externs able to participate in the Community Outreach Program by 80 per month. Palmer hopes to hire an additional faculty clinician to take over Dr. Black's current duties, and a chiropractic technologist to oversee the secretarial duties, x-rays, and lab.
Glenda Wiese, library archivist at Palmer College, will receive the 1993 Murray Gottlieb Prize from the Medical Library Association, for her paper, "Blacks in Chiropractic Education." The prize is awarded to the best unpublished paper written by a health sciences librarian on the history of health sciences.
Ms. Wiese said she chose the topic because she knew little research had been done on the subject. "I found the history of blacks in medical education and the history of blacks in chiropractic education are very similar. Chiropractic was about 20 years behind in accepting and actively recruiting black students." She found that Palmer College was the first chiropractic college with a minority recruiter.
The award will be presented at the annual Medical Library Association convention in Chicago May 19th.
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?
