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:

When I graduated from chiropractic college in 1981 and started practice, I heard it all, and very little was positive. “You are a quack; you do not know what a subluxation is; you couldn’t get into a real health care program, so you chose the one that is slightly above a mail-order degree; you have no proof that chiropractic works; Are you really licensed?”, and so much more.

A central challenge in creating our identity is that chiropractic is a method of care, not a technique or procedure. This is an important concept for us to promote.
