Because they have yet to pass national legislation protecting the chiropractic profession, Japanese DCs are in a similar situation that U.S. DCs faced. We were fortunate enough to be able to pass chiropractic licensure state by state. The DCs in Japan must accomplish this nationally, which has proved to be an extremely difficult task. And in spite of their efforts, Japanese DCs are currently faced with two chiropractic professions.

The Center for Health Value Innovation (www.vbhealth.org), the nation's premier information exchange for value-based design, today announced the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress (www.foundation4cp.com) has joined its growing membership of health care industry innovators. This collaboration reinforces the center's mission to push the boundaries of value in health investments.
"The Center was founded as the information exchange for value-based design, and works to assure that the value of health investments is expanded as new evidence becomes available," said Cyndy Nayer, co-founder, president and CEO of the Center for Health Value Innovation. "We welcome the Foundation to our signature Innovators Summit, convening experts from both organizations to consider how chiropractic can drive value for individuals, businesses and communities."
Kent S. Greenawalt, chairman of the foundation, added, "We share the Center's passion for promoting better health through prevention. Our goal is to share our message about the value of chiropractic with members of the Center and, in turn, benefit from feedback from the Center's growing roster of thought-leaders who are working together to improve the health and economic viability of communities across the country."
New members of the center join a vibrant community of stakeholders and seasoned pioneers in an environment of collaboration and networking, developing value-based strategies for implementing health improvement strategies that lead to financial sustainability for individuals, companies and communities.
"The addition of the Foundation to our Center expands the dynamic group of leaders who find fresh ways to inject substantive change through initiatives that promote health and financial value, improving our nation's health," said Nayer.
