Santa Monica, Ca -- Installed as executive officers of the Los Angeles County Chiropractic Society for the 1990-91 term are (seated left to right) Robert Hurley, D.C., secretary (Los Angeles); Gene D. Coffman, D.C., past president (Pasadena); (standing left to right) Glenn Fischel, D.C., president (Santa Monica); Alan Jeans, D.C., (San Pedro); Walter Koch, D.C., second vice president (Covina); and Bradley Sullivan, D.C., first vice president (Van Nuys). The Los Angeles County Chiropractic Society (LACCS) is made up of 10 local chiropractic associations. Through its 700 chiropractor members located throughout Los Angeles county, LACCS seeks to increase awareness and understanding of chiropractic. One major LACCS program is HOPE Day (Helping Other People Eat), a countywide food donation effort that in February 1990 collected 60,000 pounds of food for LIFE (Love is Feeding Everyone) -- the largest single contribution ever presented to the organization. HOPE Day 1991 (scheduled for February 14) will again benefit LIFE.

Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning?
Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning?

More than 100 doctors of chiropractic participated in relief efforts following the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks that left 2,753 dead and far more than the New York City skyline forever altered. Dr. Richard Gorgo Jr. was one of those DCs who selflessly donated his time, skill and compassion during that surreal, yet all-too-real moment in history. This is his remarkable story, originally published on the 10-year anniversary in 2011. Where were you when the world stopped turning? For Dr. Gorgo, the answer is Ground Zero.
