At its biennial conference in Montreal, the World Federation of Chiropractic (WFC) bestowed Activator Methods co-founder and CEO Arlan W. Fuhr, DC, with the organization's prestigious Honour Award. Dr. Fuhr joins an esteemed group of health care and business professionals who have been recognized by the WFC with its highest award for their outstanding contributions to the international advancement of chiropractic.
Dr. Fuhr was honored at a gala dinner hosted by the WFC on May 2, where attendees from all over the world celebrated his exemplary legacy, most notably for bringing instrument adjusting to the chiropractic profession. Dr. Fuhr was selected to receive the Honour Award on the basis of his personal and professional efforts to further the growth of chiropractic worldwide, and particularly for his extensive research and teaching of the technique.
The award, which was established in 1991 and is awarded every two years, has been given to numerous high-profile individuals, including Drs. Scott Haldeman and Louis Sportelli. Other recipients outside of the profession include Canadian orthopaedic surgeon Dr. William Kirkaldy-Willis, who promoted interprofessional practice research and acceptance, and Swiss lawyer Mr. Henrich Buchbinder, who led efforts to achieve early legislative recognition of chiropractic in Europe.
