The American Black Chiropractic Association (ABCA) awarded seven academic scholarships, and honored Dr. Herman Glass II as the ABCA's 1992 "Chiropractor of the Year" during the 11th annual convention in Atlanta, Georgia, August 19-23.
Dick Gregory, well-known comedian, social commentator, and author was the keynote speaker at the awards banquet.
The ACA awarded $7,500 in scholarships and the ICA awarded $3,000 in scholarships.
Dr. Glass initiated the scholarship awards for continued educational advancement to minority students. He was the ABCA's 1992 "Chiropractor of the Year," and the first black DC to serve on the Michigan State Board of Examiners, as well as the first black DC to obtain hospital privileges in the state of Michigan. Dr. Glass is ABCA's immediate past president (1990-1992) and former ABCA vice president (1988-1990).
Dr. Glass is a chiropractic consultant to Blue Cross/Blue Shield and a staff physician at New Center Hospital. He also serves as an adjunct professor to Texas Chiropractic College.
Said Dr. Alfred A. Davis, ABCA president, "Dr. Glass was selected for many first-time, landmark achievements as a black chiropractor."
Back pain? Blame the psoas. Seems as if everybody wants to dive headfirst into their psoas at the first sign of trouble with the lumbopelvic-hip region. Perhaps no other muscle is blamed more for causing problems than the psoas. Yes, it is an important stabilizer of the lumbar spine, but it shouldn't be the only one on which you focus. There is another big player on the scene: the iliacus.
Two closely related viruses of herpes simplex, HSV-1 and HSV-2, can infect the human body. HSV-1 mostly infects the gums and skin, although it can cause more serious infection in the brain. HSV-2 mostly infects around the genital area. Infection with the virus can be unsightly and painful, especially for HSV-2.
What’s the simplest way to ensure prompt payment for your claims? Ensure that the insurance payer has no reason to deny them. Submitting a “clean claim” from the start can have a more significant impact on your net collections than any other step in your billing workflow. Net collections and accounts receivable (AR) can improve significantly when claims are clean from the start.
