ACA Joins an Important Health Care Organization
The American Chiropractic Association has joined the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC), comprised of 1,400-plus U.S. health centers (a growing number of which offer chiropractic care, according to the ACA) serving more than 30 million people.
The ACA describes the NACHC as “the leading national advocacy organization in support of community health centers and the expansion of healthcare access for the medically underserved and uninsured.”
Standard Process Adds Big Name to Board of Directors
Standard Process has added Rebecca Halstead, Ret. Brigadier General, U.S. Army, to its board of directors. Per Standard Process CEO Charles DuBois:
“Becky’s leadership skills and ability to help individuals achieve their very best will be invaluable to our company as we move to new heights. She has a long-standing relationship with Standard Process as a speaker and consultant — she has also used our products for many years.”
Chiropractors may remember that Halstead was also one of the first Foundation for Chiropractic Progress (F4CP) spokespersons, named to the role in 2009.
