Logan's sixth and longest-serving president, George Goodman, DC, passed away on Sept. 9, 2014. He was 70 years old.
A 1968 graduate, Dr. Goodman's career at Logan spanned 45 years and included teaching and the development of the University's postgraduate department. After spending 10 years as vice president of chiropractic affairs, Dr. Goodman assumed the role of University President, what he called one of the greatest roles of his professional life.
Under his leadership, Logan reached debt-free status and enrollment exceeded the 1,000 mark for the first time in Logan's history. Evidence of Dr. Goodman's vision and leadership abounds on the Logan campus with the William M. Harris, DC, Sports and Wellness Center; the renovated Learning Resources Center; the William D. Purser, DC, Center; Standard Process Student Center; and a new educational wing.
"The passing of Dr. Goodman is a huge loss to Logan and the chiropractic profession," said current Logan University President Clay McDonald, DC, MBA, JD. "We send our condolences, prayers and gratitude for his contributions to his family."

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?
