For chiropractors practicing today, Dr. Warren Hammer’s legacy is particularly visible in several areas that have become familiar components of modern musculoskeletal care: his early work with the Graston Technique and instrument-assisted soft-tissue mobilization; his extensive writing and teaching on functional soft-tissue examination and treatment; his role in bringing fascial manipulation to U.S. clinicians; and his decades spent educating chiropractors and other health professionals.
Life West Receives Second $250,000 Pledge From Foot Levelers
Foot Levelers, Inc., an avid and generous supporter of chiropractic education and the profession, has partnered with Life Chiropractic College West in a multi-phased project to be completed over the course of several years. This comprises the second $250,000 pledge of a donation totaling $500,000. The agreement includes a donation of orthotic scanning equipment, positioning imaging technology and expert training. Patients of Life West's health center will also benefit, as they will receive educational materials, evaluation services and Foot Levelers products. Life West students will also gain access to the latest orthotic technology and receive the in-depth clinical training needed to provide the highest level of care to their patients.
"Foot Levelers is proud to be a part of the Life West community," said Kent S. Greenawalt, president and CEO of Foot Levelers. "These students are the chiropractors of the future and will help to further advance our profession. In my opinion, there is no better place to invest than chiropractic education."
A dedication ceremony is planned for Wednesday, Aug. 3, at which time the Life West Health Center will be renamed "The Monte H. Greenawalt Health Center of Life Chiropractic College West." In addition, "The Foot Levelers Support and Rehabilitation Center" will be housed within the Health Center, where Life West students will utilize the newest equipment related to patient assessment, structural support and active rehabilitation.
Life Chiropractic College West President, Dr. Brian Kelly, expressed his profound gratitude and stated, "As we continue to provide the highest quality in chiropractic education, Foot Levelers has made it possible to bring in state-of-the-art technology and provide a deeper level of support to all our students. The Monte H. Greenwalt Health Center of Life Chiropractic College West will serve as a daily tribute to a man who believed in giving back to the community."
