A festive celebration marked the official grand opening of the Standard Process Student Activity Center on the Parker College of Chiropractic campus. Standard Process, Inc., a nutritional food supplement manufacturer, bestowed a generous $1 million donation to Parker College earlier in the year to help advance the college's academic potential and to further the education of future doctors of chiropractic.
Part of the donation was used to support renovations and the naming of a new state-of-the-art student activity center stocked with the latest workout and weight-training equipment that will be used by students, faculty, and staff. The two-story activity center also includes a gymnasium, locker rooms, and a student lounge. The gymnasium, when converted to an auditorium, accommodates 1,200 people for assemblies, graduations, and special programs.
Parker College held a ribbon-cutting ceremony during the official opening of the Standard Process Student Activity Center and also provided lunch, entertainment, and door prizes during the celebration.
"We are so grateful for the generosity of Standard Process and for providing such a wonderful place for our future doctors of chiropractic to implement a health and wellness lifestyle," said Dr. Fabrizio Mancini, president of Parker College. "It is such an inspiration to see a company that is dedicated to promoting a holistic approach to health care and is giving to others that have that common goal."
The Standard Process Student Activity Center will help to maintain the health and wellness philosophy that Parker College promotes. It will assist in producing positive lifestyle choices and a healthy environment.
"Parker encourages its students to become well educated, well-rounded chiropractors who strive to provide the best chiropractic and nutritional care," said Charlie DuBois, president of Standard Process. "By renovating the student activity center, they have provided their students with space that will help them to let loose from their studies and rejuvenate their minds and bodies."

With either treatment, be it conservative or surgical, Achilles tendon tears necessitate prolonged recovery and rehabilitative management.
