Remembering Dr. James Badge (1937-2018)
Dr. James Badge, former president of the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners who, among other accomplishments, played a key role in the development of the board's Practice Analysis of Chiropractic (a report issued every five years and based on a survey of the profession), passed away on Nov. 7, 2018.
During his 19 years with the NBCE, Dr. Badge also spearheaded development of the board's International Affairs Committee, whose work ultimately birthed the International Board of Chiropractic Examiners (IBCE).
In addition to his service to the NBCE, Dr. Badge, a 1973 graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic, also served extensively in Arizona as a longtime member of the Arizona Board of Chiropractic Examiners, including 16 years as board chair (active at the time of his passing); and with both the Chiropractic Physicians Association of Arizona and Chiropractic Association of Arizona.
Dr. Badge is survived by his wife of 25 years, Deborah Carlson-Badge; four children; and nine grandchildren. Donations in Dr. James Badge's name can be made the UMOM New Day Centers, a Phoenix-based organization founded in 1964 and dedicated to preventing and ending homelessness in Arizona.
