The Urban League Visits New York Chiropractic College

Dr. Kenneth W. Padgett, president of New York Chiropractic College, welcomed Ms. Rosemary Durant Giles and a group of young adults from the Urban League of Long Island's Adolescent Vocational Exploration (AVE) Program. The purpose of AVE is to encourage early academic preparation for long-term professional goals. Following a tour of the Old Brookville Campus, the AVE participants were given an opportunity to learn about the chiropractic profession.

The tour concluded with a round-table discussion led by Dr. Mark Feldman, associate director for Institutional Advancement. As both an instructor and field practitioner, Dr. Feldman was able to offer the young people a realistic view of chiropractic education and the chiropractic profession.

Mr. Giles remarked, "The visit to NYCC was a very impressive experience for the young adults who visited the college. It's programs like this that act as a bootstrap in keeping our young students honing in on their professional goal. I was very impressed with the manner in which the professional staff at NYCC undertook to impress upon the young adults why they should consider chiropractic as a possible career goal."

Whether you're already in-network or pondering whether to join, here's what you need to know.

Squaring the Geriatric Curve
Squaring the Geriatric Curve

The geriatric curve – the progressive decline in our health, fitness, mental capacity, and overall constitution – graphically appears as a downward sloping line over time. It is a culmination of the effects of sarcopenia, postural deterioration, frailty, and chronic noncommunicable diseases that occur as we age. While aging cannot be reversed, the goal is to reduce the negative slope or “square off” the curve, thus avoiding a steady decline in health. Here are five ways to get your patients started.

How Chiropractors Can Make It the Best of Times
The Best of Times, the Worst of Times

Imagine an environment in which DCs are tightly integrated with their local healthcare system; a trusted resource for PCPs, specialists and self-insured employers; are reimbursed in alignment with value created; use modern technology enabling them to fully engage with their patients; are self-governed; and are able to maintain a fulfilling work-life balance. In the final part of this three-part series, we explore three areas for chiropractors to focus on to leave the current foolishness behind and create “the best of times” for DCs and their patients.
