The Foundation for Chiropractic Progress is pleased to announce that Hill Laboratories, manufacturers of premier medical equipment, has pledged an initial $6,000 in support of the foundation. Their financial contribution will help to advance the successes of the profession's awareness campaign.
"Hill Laboratories is excited to support the chiropractic profession through the F4CP," stated Howard Hill, president of Hill Laboratories. "Our goal as a company is to improve the chiropractic profession through action and we believe that the F4CP is an important partner in this journey."
Established in 1945, Hill Laboratories is a globalized family business located in Pennsylvania. In their fourth generation, Howard Hill and his son, Benjamin Hill, lead the company in producing innovative, affordable and quality chiropractic tables and therapy equipment.
"I commend Hill Laboratories for recognizing the value of our positive press campaign," said Kent S. Greenawalt, chairman of the foundation. "As we continue to build our support, we anticipate greater levels of understanding and success for both the profession and most importantly, the patients who deserve to know more about the special health care that only a doctor of chiropractic can provide."
