Logan College of Chiropractic / University Programs officially dedicated a new 13,000-square-foot educational wing on its suburban Chesterfield, Mo., campus at a special ribbon-cutting event held June 21 during the school's annual homecoming. The $4.9-million capital improvement project, which required 13 months from design to construction completion, included renovation of the Montgomery Health Center and the Performance Health BIOFREEZE Sports & Rehabilitation Center, as well as the creation of the Foot Levelers, Inc., Clinic and the Standard Process, Inc., Courtyard.
Over the past five years, Logan has invested nearly $40 million toward modernization of its educational programs and 112-acre campus, located about 30 minutes west of downtown St. Louis.
Dr. George A. Goodman, Logan president, served as master of ceremonies for the event. Special guests included St. Louis County Chief Executive Charlie Dooley and Chesterfield Mayor Bruce Geiger, both of whom presented proclamations proclaiming June 21 as "Logan College of Chiropractic/ University Programs Day."
Other dignitaries on stage included Dr. William D. Purser, a major donor for the new Educational Wing; Charlie DuBois, president of Standard Process, Inc.; Kent Greenawalt, president and chief executive officer of Foot Levelers, Inc.; Steve Roberts, JD, chair of the Logan Board of Trustees; Dr. Allen Epstein, president of the Logan College Alumni Association; Brian Snyder, president of the Logan Faculty Council; and Christina Lynch, president of the Logan Student Doctors' Council.
During the formal ceremony, Dr. Epstein presented two special awards. Dr. Purser, an August 1953 graduate and major donor to the school, received the "Tower of Chiropractic" award. Dr. Debra Hoffman, a September 1980 graduate and vice chair of the Logan Board of Trustees, was honored with the Logan Alumnus of the Year award for her service to the college.
The new Logan educational wing is a multi-level facility that features a state-the-art assessment center on the ground level for utilizing standardized patients. The assessment center enhances student-faculty collaboration and facilitates the sharing of clinical observations. It also allows students to transition from the classroom to the exam room in a real-time clinical assessment setting.

When sports chiropractors first appeared at the Olympic Games in the 1980s, it was alongside individual athletes who had experienced the benefits of chiropractic care in their training and recovery processes at home. Fast forward to Paris 2024, where chiropractic care was available in the polyclinic for all athletes, and the attitude has now evolved to recognize that “every athlete deserves access to sports chiropractic."
It is estimated that 61% of patients with CTS avoid taking surgical options due to postoperative complications and costly surgical procedures. Chiropractic care offers a comprehensive and effective treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome, addressing the condition from multiple angles. Recent studies also have unveiled a game-changing adjunct to chiropractic treatments for CTS: nerve flossing.
Some doctors thrive in a personality-based clinic and have a loyal following no matter what services or equipment they offer, but for most chiropractic offices who are trying to grow and expand, new equipment purchases help us stay relevant and continue to service our client base in the best, most up-to-date manner possible. So, regarding equipment purchasing: should you lease, get a bank loan, or pay cash?
