The Foundation for Chiropractic Progress (F4CP) is hosting the very first "ChiroThon," a fundraising event for F4CP's "Naturally, Chiropractic" campaign, at this year's The National by FCA. ChiroThon, which is open to the public and will be live streamed across various channels, begins on the evening of Aug. 25 (Thursday) with a kickoff event. It continues throughout the weekend, with live vignettes at the "Fountain of the Future" within the convention, that "will give the audience an opportunity to learn more about the role that chiropractic plays in a variety of ways throughout a person's life," according to the foundation in a press release announcing the inaugural event.
"We are very excited to host the first event of its kind in the profession," stated Kent Greenawalt, chairman and founder of the F4CP. "The ChiroThon is a unique opportunity for the public and the profession to come together and support chiropractic."
To attend ChiroThon, register for FCA's The National (Aug. 25-28 at the Hyatt Regency in Orlando, Fla.) at thenationalchiro.com if you aren't already registered. If not, visit the F4CP website (F4CP.org) to watch ChiroThon virtually beginning Aug. 25 at 5 p.m. EDT.

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?
