TCC Fund Drive Surpasses $200,000

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

Texas Chiropractic College's fund drive surpassed its goal of $200,000 by securing $201,335 in pledges with a hard working staff of 25 alumni and friends.

"I've never seen a more concentrated, dedicated, and unified effort of cooperation to obtain a monumental goal," said TCC President S.M. Elliott, D.C.

An offshoot of the fund-raising has been the emergence of the TCC Development Corps, an idea developed by board member Charles Albracht, D.C., and refined by Ken White, D.C., and Billie Duncan, TCC's chief development officer. Dr. Albracht explained: "After being on the board for a short time, I found that there wasn't a consistent base of giving to TCC. There are so many people out there who have reaped the benefits of being a chiropractor and having graduated from TCC but have never been approached to give large amounts of money..."

The Development Corps currently has 20 members. A full member contributes $5,000 a year; an associate member $2,500.

Confronting the Threat to Chiropractic Education
Confronting the Threat to Chiropractic Education

The chiropractic profession is confronting one of the most significant federal regulatory threats it has faced in decades. A new U.S. Department of Education (ED) accountability framework – commonly referred to as the “Do No Harm” (DNH) regulation – could place many chiropractic programs at risk of losing access to federal financial aid (student loans), potentially reshaping the future of chiropractic education and workforce development across the United States.

From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics
From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics

Pain has become the dominant language of musculoskeletal healthcare. Numeric pain-rating scales and symptom reports are routinely used as primary indicators of clinical success. But while pain reduction is meaningful, it is an incomplete and often misleading representation of recovery. This has real consequences for patient adherence, long-term outcomes, and how conservative care is perceived within the broader healthcare system.
