An Appeal to the Profession

Editorial Staff

Stephen Johnson attends chiropractic college at The National College of Chiropractic. He has begun to suffer the physical changes of chronic diabetes, i.e., visual impairment, unhealed peripheral ulcers, and end-stage kidney degeneration.

He has finally been accepted into a program which has made him eligible to receive a pancreas transplant. This procedure is not covered by insurance or Medicare. His cost for the operation is $60,000. He has turned to the profession in a desperate attempt to raise the funds, since the help he is able to get from the National College family is not going to be enough. Your generosity will be met with Steve's immeasurable gratitude.

To help meet his goal, forward your contribution to:

The lawsuit accused BCBS of dividing the nation into exclusive regions and limiting competition, which resulted in lower reimbursements for providers. Although BCBS denies any wrongdoing, the company agreed to the settlement to avoid lengthy litigation – and you can get a piece of the pie.
