Allison Harvey, DC, Montgomery Health Center senior clinician and Logan assistant professor was named Pediatric Chiropractor of the Year by the American Chiropractic Association Council on Pediatric Chiropractic. “It’s an honor to be recognized by the largest professional chiropractic organization in the United States,” Dr. Harvey said. “I’m excited to help trailblaze pediatric chiropractic for our patients, community and Logan students.”
Logan thanks three outgoing members of its Board of Trustees for their service: Marc Malon, DC, FICC; Gary Mohr, MS; and Judy Silvestrone, DC, MS. “Marc has helped Logan expand and enhance our campus footprint, grow our academic offerings and champion capital campaigns,” said Logan President Clay McDonald, DC (’82), MBA, JD. “Under Gary’s leadership as chair of the Board, Logan has thrived academically and financially. Judy has been a vital part of Logan’s path to academic success thanks to her commitment to advancing chiropractic education. Your time has been a gift, and we will miss you.”
The Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics has granted full accreditation to Logan’s Master of Science in Applied Nutrition & Dietetics (MS-AND) program. This accreditation provides value to Logan’s nutrition and dietetics students and is a testament to the program’s leaders and the curriculum they have built.
Logan President Clay McDonald, DC (’82), MBA, JD and Dena McCaffrey, MBA, EdD, president of Jefferson College in Hillsboro, Missouri, recently signed a 2+4 agreement. “This partnership gives our students the opportunity to not only go into entry-level positions in health care or health sciences, but to grow and continue to be valuable while serving a greater need in St. Louis,” Dr. McCaffrey said.
I have found myself thinking about the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., especially on the 55th anniversary of his tragic passing April 4. I am awed by the impact he had on so many lives in a relatively short period of time.
A gifted speaker, Dr. King is well known for the powerful speeches he delivered that inspired a nation and continue to resonate with us today. One of my favorites was to an audience in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1957, during which he stated: “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’”
It is a question that most health care professionals can relate to. Underneath the science and problem solving that captivate many who choose this career path, the need to revive, renew and rehabilitate others is what drives us. It is my sincere hope that wherever the knowledge and skills you gained at Logan have taken you, that helping others is at the forefront of your minds.
Speaking of service, three College of Chiropractic faculty members recently celebrated a combined 145 years of
teaching at Logan: Roy Hillgartner, DC (’69), instructor; John Gutweiler, PhD, professor; and Richard Cranwell, DC (’76), MS, DACBN, professor. Turn to pages 6 and 7 of this magazine to learn more about the indelible impact each educator has made on the university and the reception that was held in their honor.
In the spirit of equality and expanding opportunities for all, Logan hosted hundreds of chiropractic educators, researchers, academics and association leaders from 13 different countries and 68 organizations for the 11th World Federation of Chiropractic (WFC) Association of Chiropractic Colleges (ACC) Global Education Conference. Held last November, the conference’s theme was “Leveling Up: Creating Consistency in Chiropractic Education.” Participants enjoyed presentations, workshops, research and more aimed at tackling inequalities in teaching and learning, meeting competencies and ensuring that the delivery of education achieves and exceeds basic minimum standards. Highlights from the event can be found on pages 10 and 11.
Bringing together chiropractic and health care professionals who are driven by the desire to continue to learn is one of the great joys of my role. Every year I look forward to Logan University Symposium, where
alumni, faculty, staff, experts and thought leaders join us for continuing education opportunities, chiropractic exhibitions and networking events.
Themed “Honoring Tradition, Shaping Our Future,” Symposium 2023 will be held Thursday, April 13, through Sunday, April 16, on Logan’s campus and at St. Louis Union Station. Learn more about the speakers, schedule and registration on pages 24-29.
It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost a year since we broke ground on the renovation and expansion of the Fuhr Science Center. This milestone is one of many highlights included in our annual report for the 2022 fiscal year beginning on page 37. In addition to a picture of the university’s financial health, we express our gratitude for all the donors, preceptor doctors and individuals who referred students to us this year. Logan’s success would not be possible without your continued generosity.
As we welcome spring, I’m excited to see Logan continue growing like the many trees and flowers on our campus thanks to an ever-expanding network of alumni, friends and supporters. I can’t imagine a better group of individuals to help shape Logan’s future.
Three College of Chiropractic faculty members recently celebrated a combined 145 years of teaching at Logan University: Roy Hillgartner, DC (’69), instructor; John Gutweiler, PhD, professor; and Richard Cranwell, DC (’76), MS, DACBN, professor.
After decades of dedication, each educator has made his mark on the university. Dr. Cranwell—who is celebrating 46 years of teaching this April—has developed numerous courses for Logan, including static palpation, motion palpation, extremity adjusting and case management. Applying what he learned during a oneyear internship with Clarence Gonstead, DC in 1976, he also founded Logan’s introductory and advanced Gonstead method courses, which he continues to teach.
“Dr. Gonstead not only taught me how to treat patients but also showed me the importance of being an empathetic physician,” Dr. Cranwell said. “At the end of my internship, I felt strongly that I wanted to share the knowledge and experience I was so fortunate to receive. That’s when I started teaching at Logan as well as treating patients at my practice, Cranwell Chiropractic Center, in Sunset Hills, Missouri.”
Dr. Hillgartner never planned to teach. After serving for two years in the United
States military as an X-ray technician during the Vietnam War, he intended to return to his home state of Pennsylvania to practice chiropractic. Then Logan offered him a position teaching a radiographic imaging course.
“One of my mentors was Fred Gehl, DC, a former clinic director at Logan, and he strongly encouraged me to take the job,” Dr. Hillgartner said. “Over the next several years, I ended up teaching more and more courses, including principles of chiropractic, practice management and
diversified technique because I realized I had discovered my purpose in life. Next thing I knew, 52 years had gone by.”
Dr. Gutweiler, who has taught at Logan for 50 years, is well known throughout the university community for imparting his passion for chemistry to everyone who enrolls in his courses.
“I am grateful for the opportunity Logan has given me to teach chemistry,” Dr. Gutweiler said. “I have always considered chemistry to be a great story to tell, and I enjoy telling it.”
Over the decades, all three veteran faculty members have helped mold hundreds of aspiring students into leaders in health care, including current Logan President Clay McDonald, DC (’82), MBA, JD.
“Watching the young men and women who arrive as trimester 1 students dressed in blue jeans and T-shirts morph into mature health care professionals bustling around campus in their white clinic jackets is one of the most fascinating experiences,” Dr. Gutweiler said.
The highlights of the doctors’ teaching careers include former students reaching out to express gratitude for the lessons they learned in their classes.
“It is always a treat to have students come to me after passing Boards and thank me for the preparation they received,” Dr. Gutweiler said.
The three doctors frequently hear from Logan alumni they taught years ago as well as recent graduates who are beginning their chiropractic careers.
“One of my students who graduated in 2022 recently wrote me a one-page letter thanking me not only for the education she received but also the confidence she gained in the power of chiropractic,” Dr. Cranwell said. “Knowing my former students are all over the world successfully treating patients every day, changing their lives, and in many cases giving them their lives back is what keeps me motivated.”
Dr. Hillgartner is also proud to have taught his son, Chad, DC (’02), who not
only took over Hillgartner Chiropractic in Ballwin, Missouri, but is now an instructor in Logan’s Doctor of Chiropractic program.
“I’ve been fortunate to be able to serve as a mentor for my son—and so many other students—the way Dr. Gehl did for me,” Dr. Hillgartner said.
Logan hosted a reception in December 2022 to recognize the educators for their many years of service.
“It was gratifying that the university took the time to acknowledge our accomplishments and dedication,” Dr. Cranwell said. “I sincerely appreciate it.”
During the celebration, each of the three doctors received an award from
Dr. McDonald, enjoyed an assortment of treats and spent time with Logan students, faculty and staff.
“The recognition was very kind, but we have never been in this for the accolades,” Dr. Hillgartner said. “All I ever wanted to do was practice chiropractic and teach others so they could too. If someone told me I could go back in time, I wouldn’t change a thing. I’d do it all over again if I could.”
ROBERT KESSINGER, DC (’88), DABCI, DACBN is a fourth-generation chiropractor following the career path his greatgrandfather, grandfather Andrew Kessinger, DC (’48) and father paved. His journey to the chiropractic profession began when he came to Logan University to start his first trimester in May 1985.
“I made lifelong friends at Logan, and I still often reflect back on my training when I am treating patients,” he said.
After graduation, Dr. Kessinger briefly practiced in Steelville, Missouri, before moving to Cape Girardeau, Missouri, where he remained for 20 years. He primarily focused on providing upper cervical care to his patients. In 2010, he began pursuing his Diplomate of the American Board of Chiropractic Internists certification (DABCI) and a Diplomate of the American Clinical Board of Nutrition certification (DACBN).
In 2012, Dr. Kessinger and his family moved to his hometown of Rolla, Missouri, where Kessinger Diagnostic Centre—his family’s chiropractic practice—is located. With his DABCI, he began expanding his work as a chiropractic internist.
Due to the range and complexity of conditions he treats, Dr. Kessinger currently sees 15 to 20 patients per day. They come to him for help with a variety of complicated conditions, but he regularly treats autoimmune issues, diabetes and chronic fatigue syndrome while continuing to perform upper cervical adjustments.
Passionate about sharing his knowledge with future generations of health care professionals, Dr. Kessinger teaches in the American Chiropractic Association’s (ACA) DABCI program and the International Chiropractors Association’s (ICA) upper cervical diplomate program. He also speaks at chiropractic and paraprofessionals conferences and is a past president of the Missouri Chiropractic Physicians Association.
Additionally, Dr. Kessinger has participated in more than 20 mission trips, where he has worked with a team of doctors to bring chiropractic care to countries around the world. Locally, he gives back to his community by serving on the Rolla City Council.
Dr. Kessinger recently received two prestigious awards in recognition of his dedication to his patients: The ACA Council on Nutrition named him Nutrition Professional of the Year; and the ICA Upper Cervical Council honored him with its Doctor of the Year distinction.
“These awards were surprising and mean a lot to me,” Dr. Kessinger said. “It is humbling to be recognized by my peers and by the amazing doctors on these councils. I dedicate these awards to my parents, who are central to my success. It’s a sign of the times that the same person received the ICA Upper Cervical Council Doctor of the Year and the
ACA Council on Nutrition Professional of the Year. Nowadays, the blending of these specialties is welcomed by the profession and enjoyed by our patients.”
Dr. Kessinger is married to his wife, Chris, who is also a chiropractor at their practice. They have four children ranging in age from 2 to 12.
“I brought my 12-year-old daughter to Logan to attend one of my presentations, and she was blown away by the campus,” he said. “She is already planning to follow in the family’s footsteps and attend Logan when the time comes.”
Inspired by the medical professionals in her family, TOYA WHITE, DC (‘22) thought she wanted to attend medical school. While growing up in Milan, Tennessee, she had never seen a chiropractor and was unfamiliar with the profession.
After graduating with her bachelor’s degree in cellular and molecular biology from the University of Tennessee at Martin and a master’s degree in epidemiology from the University of Memphis, Dr. White began working as a certified nursing assistant (CNA) at West Tennessee Healthcare Rehabilitation Hospital Cane Creek in Martin, Tennessee.
“While working as a CNA, I met Dr. Belinda Merritt, a medical doctor who shared my philosophy on health and the human body,” Dr. White said. “She knew my
Logan University is a community of extraordinary leaders. Learn how these individuals are making an impact in their own communities, careers and beyond.Dr. Robert Kessinger and his family Dr. Toya White
passion for helping others, so she suggested I look into chiropractic. That same week, she drove me to Logan University for a campus tour, and I immediately knew this was the place for me.”
Dr. White began the Doctor of Chiropractic program at Logan in 2019 and quickly got involved in several campus organizations. She joined the Lambda Kappa Chi sorority, became a Logan student ambassador and served as class president.
“There are so many opportunities at Logan, and I wanted to take advantage of them so I could meet a variety of people,” she said. “In order to maximize my time, I participated in as many activities and learned from as many people as I could.”
Although she was often busy studying, she also made time to help her peers as a tutor. “I highly recommend tutoring other students because explaining something to others is the best way to learn it,” Dr. White said. “My experience tutoring helped me when it was time to take Board exams.”
In May 2022, Dr. White began her preceptorship at Evergreen Chiropractic in Nashville, Tennessee. She knew she wanted to practice in her home state, so she chose to work with owner Brittany McGetrick, DC, RD.
“I was looking for a preceptorship at a practice that focuses on the Gonstead method, and once I met Dr. McGetrick, I knew Evergreen Chiropractic would be a great fit for me,” Dr. White said. “It feels like family, and the office has an amazing healing vibe.”
During her preceptorship, Dr. White learned how to market her skills to potential patients. Now a full-time employee at Evergreen Chiropractic, she is using that experience to teach a monthly class called Health and Healing Hour, where she educates community members about chiropractic care and its ability to help treat a variety of conditions beyond back pain.
She currently helps patients with an array of needs, including gut health, musculoskeletal issues and hormonal imbalances. Because Evergreen Chiropractic is in the heart of Nashville’s Music Row,
Dr. White has had the opportunity to work with several famous musicians, including some who see her on a regular basis.
“My goal is to eventually open up my own practice, but I still have a lot to learn, and I am in the perfect place to do so,” Dr. White said. “I am constantly networking and learning the business side of the practice too. I am growing by leaps and bounds as a practitioner and a person.”
SCOTT BIRD, RSCC*E, CSCS, MSCC, SCCC, Logan field experience coordinator grew up in McLoud, Oklahoma, a small town east of Oklahoma City. In high school, he played football and basketball. After graduating in 1983, he continued his football career as a running back and kicker at Sterling College in Sterling, Kansas, for a season. Then he transferred to the University of Oklahoma where he played for two seasons, including on the 1985 college football national championship team.
Scott began working as a strength and conditioning coach for college athletes at the University of Oklahoma after graduating from college. Over the years, he has coached at Texas Tech University, The Ohio State University, University of Missouri, Kansas State University and University of Houston. While he coached a variety of sports teams over the last 20 years, he primarily worked with football and baseball teams.
Along the way, Scott continued to further his education by pursuing several certifications, including Registered Strength and Conditioning Coach Emeritus (RSCC*E), Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), Strength and Conditioning Coach Certified (SCCC) and Master Strength and Conditioning Coach (MSCC). He recently earned a master’s degree in positive coaching and athletic leadership from the University of Missouri.
To honor his elite performance as a high school and collegiate athlete along with his two-decade coaching career, Scott was inducted into the McLoud High School Hall of Fame in fall 2022.
“I was thrilled to go back to my
hometown to be inducted into my high school’s hall of fame,” Scott said. “McLoud is a wonderful small town that has many great memories for me, and I am proud to represent it.”
During the induction ceremony, Scott was presented with a plaque, enjoyed a celebratory dinner and was introduced at a football and basketball game. “It was incredible to see all the alumni photos at the high school and recognize many relatives over the years,” he said.
As field experience coordinator for Logan, Scott uses his expertise as an athlete and coach to facilitate internship opportunities for professionals pursuing Logan’s Master of Science in Strength & Conditioning (MS-SC) degree.
“What makes this master’s degree unique is that the classes are taught by experts currently working in the field, which creates a curriculum that is based on real-life experience,” Scott said. “This online degree also gives anyone the opportunity to further their knowledge and education while still working a full-time job.”
Scott stresses the importance of strength and conditioning for all athletes regardless of their level of competition. “It’s imperative to not only prevent injuries but also to take steps to stay physically healthy in order to remain mentally healthy,” Scott said. “That is the best combination for excellence.”
More than 200 chiropractic educators, researchers, academics, association leaders and students traveled to Logan University from more than 13 different countries and 68 institutions for the 11th World Federation of Chiropractic (WFC) Association of Chiropractic Colleges (ACC) Global Education Conference held November 2-5, 2022.
Established in 1988, the WFC is a global nonprofit organization with a mission to advance awareness, utilization and integration of chiropractic internationally.
“One of the pillars of the WFC is ensuring more people throughout the world have chiropractic care and making chiropractic care available,” said WFC President John Maltby, DC during an episode of Logan’s President’s Podcast with Logan President Clay McDonald, DC (’82), MBA, JD. “I don’t think people understand that there are so many countries in the world that don’t have any chiropractors at all.”
The ACC has served as the voice of chiropractic education since its founding in 1989 by leading the field’s academic
community and supporting student learning, research and evidence-informed practice. The two organizations have co-presented the biennial education conference for more than two decades, showcasing the very best in chiropractic education, innovation and research.
“There are now over 50 educational institutions worldwide offering chiropractic programs,” said WFC Secretary-General Richard Brown, DC, LLM, FRCC, FICC, FBCA, FEAC. “It is important that we provide a forum for the sharing of best practices and promotion of educational research. We were excited to host another in-person event where attendees from around the world could come together, network and hear from peers and global authorities from outside the profession.”
The 2022 conference theme was “Leveling Up: Creating Consistency in Chiropractic Education.” According to Dr. Brown, “leveling up” means tackling inequalities in teaching and learning, meeting competencies, and ensuring that the delivery of education not only achieves but exceeds basic minimum standards.
Conference attendees heard from dozens of speakers on a variety of topics, including equity in chiropractic education. Celina Caesar-Chavannes, author and former member of the Parliament of Canada, delivered the conference’s opening keynote presentation, “Leading with Empathy: Humanizing DEI.”
“One of the pillars of the WFC is ensuring more people throughout the world have chiropractic care and making chiropractic care available. ”
– Dr. John Maltby WFC President
“Starting off the event with a speaker like Celina Caesar-Chavannes was really incredible,” said Keiron Boosi, a recent graduate from Durban University of Technology in South Africa. “I am a woman of color, so the decision to make diversity, equity and inclusion a central topic of the conference was really impactful. It was incredible to see that those values are so important to the WFC, ACC and Logan.”
In addition to presentations, panel discussions and debates, participants had the opportunity to experience interactive workshops that focused on helping educators enhance the student learning experience.
“This is the first big conference I’ve ever attended, and I got to present,” said Louisa Marie Conradi, a student at the University of South Wales in the United Kingdom. “It was great representing the World Congress
of Chiropractic Students and the students’ opinions on these topics with so many faculty members from all these institutions.”

In addition to being a chiropractor, Carole Smith, DC, MEd is a contemporary medical acupuncture provider, Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Association (CAPPA) labor doula, teacher and bagpipe player. However, virtually attending Logan University’s 2021 Women’s Health Symposium inspired her to pursue another title: recipient of a Master of Science in Integrative Pediatrics (MS-IP) from Logan.
“I had never heard of a program like Logan’s MS-IP in Canada or the United States,” Dr. Smith said. “I immediately knew I wanted to be part of it.”
Led by founding program director Elise Hewitt, DC, DICCP, FICC, Logan’s MS-IP is the first of its kind in the U.S. The twoyear, part-time degree is offered primarily online with annual in-person sessions for supervised practice and hands-on learning.
“Working with children is a major component of what I do, so it made a lot of sense for me to apply to this program,” Dr. Smith said.
Before beginning her MS-IP in fall 2022, Dr. Smith earned her bachelor’s degree in
psychology from Simon Fraser University (SFU) in Burnaby, British Columbia. As the winner of two World Pipe Band Championships in Glasgow, Scotland, she received a full scholarship to play the bagpipes at SFU where she also taught music and provided Intensive Behavioral Intervention (IBI) therapy to children on the autism spectrum.
After graduating from SFU, she began the Doctor of Chiropractic program at Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) in Toronto, Canada. She quickly realized that her passion for working with people with disabilities could merge with her newfound understanding of the body and ways manual therapy can improve health outcomes.
“Coming into the chiropractic program, I discovered that I had a fairly unique background with my years of experience working with children on the autism spectrum and other people with different developmental disabilities,” Dr. Smith said. “This put me in a position to be able to teach courses in pediatrics and psychology at CMCC.”
Dr. Smith also recognized that her musical background gave her a rare perspective within the field of chiropractic.
“Playing and teaching the bagpipes allowed me find a niche,” Dr. Smith said. “It’s helped me effectively treat musicians, especially those in pipe bands, because I understand how playing these instruments can impact the body.”
Upon completing her DC, Dr. Smith became an instructor at CMCC and started practicing chiropractic at YOUR HEALTH Wellness Centre in Ontario, Canada. She currently serves as YOUR HEALTH’s clinic director and lectures on pediatrics, psychology and female care at CMCC. Dr. Smith is also a resource clinician facilitating the education, supervision, training and mentoring of interns at CMCC clinics.
“The passion I have for practicing and teaching comes from a lot of different places,” Dr. Smith said. “It comes from being able to make a positive impact in the lives of children with disabilities. It comes from seeing how small changes can lead to big changes. It comes from anywhere.”
While working, volunteering, training for triathlons, raising a family and continuing to compete in both band and solo bagpipe competitions, Dr. Smith recently completed her Master of Education degree from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.
“I actually just finished that degree, so I guess I need to update my resume,” Dr. Smith joked.
In 2024, Dr. Smith will have to update her resume once more with her new MS-IP degree. However, she never plans to stop learning.
“I advise anyone in the chiropractic field to go out and learn everything they can,” Dr. Smith said. “Don’t be afraid to be someone who makes an impact in another person’s life. Don’t underestimate the power of making small changes.”

There’s a new administrative duo at Logan’s Alumni & Friends House. Cynthia Sutton, Logan’s director of alumni relations and Amber Henry, EdD, Logan’s director of continuing education came to the university in fall 2022 from Missouri Baptist University in Creve Coeur, Missouri. Both bring decades of experience in higher education and a collaborative partnership they will use to engage and inform Logan alumni.
Cynthia is a familiar face for many faculty, staff and alumni because she began her career in higher education
at Logan 20 years ago.
“It truly feels like I’ve come home,” Cynthia said. “I’m really excited to reconnect with Logan’s alumni, see how their lives are going and catch up on the last two decades.”
Cynthia was first hired as Logan’s undergraduate admissions counselor. Then she became the Flexible Accelerated Science Track (FAST) program—formerly known as the Accelerated Science Program (ASP)—coordinator before advancing to the associate director of admissions and operations position. In these roles, Cynthia fostered relationships with hundreds of Logan students who are now alumni.
“Many of the students I advised those first few years were my age, so in some ways it feels like I grew up alongside them at Logan,” said Cynthia. “I guided those
students through the rigors of earning a doctorate degree from such a highly esteemed academic institution, and I beamed with pride as I watched them walk across the stage at graduation.”
After 12 years at Logan, Cynthia transitioned to Missouri Baptist, where she served as the director of online admissions before being promoted to executive director of undergraduate admissions, a role she held for nearly a decade.
“My time at Missouri Baptist allowed me to grow personally and professionally,” she said. “I was able to step outside of Logan to get a fuller sense of industry best practices and standards.”
Through various connections, Cynthia kept up with developments at Logan, and in 2022 she learned about the university’s new vision for the Office of Alumni Relations and Continuing Education Department. After looking into the open director of alumni relations position, she decided it would be a perfect fit.
“I’m lucky to have a deep foundational knowledge of Logan and our alumni base,” said Cynthia. “If there’s one position that could entice me away from enrollment, it would be working with alumni at Logan. I’m able to take my years of experience in building relationships with new students and implement my skills on the other side of the spectrum.”
SuttonCynthia is currently tasked with leading Logan’s first standalone office dedicated to connecting and engaging alumni. In only a few months, she has already accomplished her first goal by launching an alumni web page, which gives graduates an easy way to reach out and stay informed.
Looking to the future, Cynthia hopes to increase alumni engagement across the board, whether it is encouraging them to attend Logan’s Symposium, serve as a preceptor doctor for students or enroll in continuing education programs. She also strives to build Logan’s alumni network by developing regional hubs and facilitating events across the country.
“My sole focus it to build community and be a resource,” said Cynthia. “I want graduates to think of me as their ‘alumni

Since joining Logan in September, Dr. Henry has been busy reimagining the university’s Continuing Education Department, formerly known as the Postgraduate Department.
“With all the possibilities and opportunities out there, I’m excited to see how this program grows in the next five years,” Dr. Henry said. “I think it’s going to look completely different from what it has ever been before, and I’m thriving off the challenge to make it happen.”
Dr. Henry brings 25 years of experience in education to Logan. In her previous position at Missouri Baptist, she established and led regional learning locations across Missouri and Illinois that primarily catered to adult learners. As technology advanced over the years, her role evolved into creating Missouri Baptist’s online learning program.
“I am a huge advocate for online learning,” she said. “Providing options and teaching instructors the principles of educating adult learners are key. Adults come in with experience and knowledge, so our courses should focus on being more interactive than lectures.”
Motivated to try something new, Dr. Henry was drawn to the idea of working in health care. After looking into Logan and the director of continuing education role, Dr. Henry concluded the university’s vision aligned with her ideals and would provide a challenge that could reinvigorate her passion for higher education.
“Logan has a phenomenal entrepreneurial spirit,” Dr. Henry said. “The university is continually moving forward, analyzing the marketplace and allocating resources behind quality programs that are in demand. Everyone is open to ideas and innovations.”
Her goal is to expand the Continuing Education Department at Logan by incorporating learning opportunities for a variety of health care professionals. Dr. Henry also hopes to use her experience with online learning to develop more flexible continuing education options and ensure the courses deliver quality educational content and promote networking and alumni engagement.
“One of my key skills is collaboration,” Dr. Henry said. “For this to be successful, it will take an entire team. With established trust and partnership from our time at Missouri Baptist, Cynthia and I were able
to dive in on day one. Collaboration was instant, creating a smooth and beneficial transition for the Logan community.”

Fourteen platform presentations and 12 poster presentations from researchers affiliated with Logan University were accepted to the 29th Annual Association of Chiropractic Colleges Educational and Research Agenda Conference (ACCRAC) held March 23-25, 2023, in New Orleans. According to Norman W. Kettner, DC (’80), DACBR, FICC, dean of research and professor emeritus of Logan’s Department of Radiology, this is the largest number of ACCRAC submissions accepted from Logan researchers since he began attending the conference more than two decades ago.
“This signals the emergence of a culture of scientific inquiry at Logan,” Dr. Kettner said. “For many years, I was the only researcher from Logan who attended ACCRAC, but participation has expanded to include the Department of Radiology, the Research Department, the Health Centers and beyond. We even have a few students who delivered presentations this year.”
ACCRAC is the premier conference to present and learn about new and emerging research in chiropractic. During ACCRAC’s scientific peer-reviewed sessions, researchers from Logan and other institutions presented their work and engaged in dialogue with attendees from educational, clinical and basic sciences backgrounds.
“We are just getting started,” Dr. Kettner said. “One day, I hope Logan will lead the chiropractic and health sciences professions in the production of quality research so we can further benefit our students, faculty and patients.”

Eric Shook, DC (’90) has been practicing chiropractic for more than 33 years as the owner of Shook Family Chiropractic in Newton, North Carolina. He first learned about the profession while earning his bachelor’s degree in biology at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina. A fellow student introduced Dr. Shook to his father, who was a chiropractor. Based on Dr. Shook’s background and interests, he said Dr. Shook should consider pursuing his DC after graduation.
Dr. Shook visited Logan University and decided it was the right fit for him, so he began the Doctor of Chiropractic program in 1987. “My time at Logan was incredible,” he said. “The education and the clinical skills I received were top-notch. I graduated feeling very confident in how to treat patients.”
After completing his DC, he began practicing in Charleston, South Carolina. He wanted to move closer to his hometown of Hickory, North Carolina, so he opened Shook Family Chiropractic in nearby Newton in 1992.
“Currently, I am a solo practitioner, but I am hoping to add more chiropractors to my practice in the coming years,” he said. “I see about 250 patients per week—both kids and adults—and many local athletes.”
Dr. Shook believes it is important for Logan alumni to give back to the university whenever possible. He recently spent time with Logan’s major gifts officer while he was in the area visiting several alumni who also
practice in North Carolina.
“We have to keep Logan’s legacy going, and by donating whatever we can to the university, we can preserve its quality education and reputation,” Dr. Shook said.
In years past, Dr. Shook has made donations in support of the William D. Purser, DC Center on campus. He recently made a generous contribution to Logan’s Advancing Education, Transforming Lives campaign, which will fund the renovation and expansion of the Fuhr Science Center. When completed, the 48,000-square-foot building will house anatomy labs, a simulated imaging center, technique labs, faculty offices, additional student collaboration and study areas, and Anatomage Tables—the most advanced 3D-simulation systems used by leading health care institutions throughout the world.
“I am thrilled to donate to the Advancing Education, Transforming Lives campaign because it will help make the latest state-of-the-art technology available to Logan students,” Dr. Shook said. “Whether it is in support of this campaign, a scholarship or another area of need, I highly encourage alumni to give back to Logan once they are established. After all, that diploma is hanging on your wall, so you have to do your best to protect your own asset.”
Music from St. Louis Symphony Orchestra (SLSO) double bassist Sarah Hogan Kaiser, violinist Xiaoxiao Qiang and cellist Yin Xiong filled the William D. Purser, DC Center November 7, 2022. At the end of their performance, 20 students from Jennings Senior High School in Jennings, Missouri, leapt from their front-row seats to honor them with a standing ovation.
The SLSO musicians and the students from Jennings’ orchestra, band and choir programs visited Logan as part of SLSO College Connections. The education program gives local middle and high school music students who may have limited opportunities to visit colleges during their formative years the chance to tour campuses and attend an SLSO chamber concert.
“Music can open many doors for students, including those who are interested in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM),” said Maureen Byrne, SLSO vice president of education and community partnerships. “The SLSO values facilitating connections between students and higher education institutions
like Logan University because there is such a high correlation between music and STEM education that leads to career paths currently in high demand.”
Throughout the SLSO performance, Daryl Ridgeway, DC (’97), executive director of Logan’s Simulated Learning Center led a discussion with the students about the physical injuries that musicians can experience due to overuse, stress and prolonged sitting or standing. After 20 years as a professional musician and experience providing chiropractic care to dozens of performers, Dr. Ridgeway has firsthand knowledge of these afflictions and how to treat them.
“Practicing and performing for hours every day can put a lot of stress on the body, so it’s no wonder that more than 90 percent of musicians experience an injury related to playing their instruments during their careers,” Dr. Ridgeway said. “By choosing a career in chiropractic, students can play a major role in helping performers manage those injuries, and it’s a great way for them to stay involved with music.”
After the SLSO performance, the students enjoyed a complimentary lunch and a Tour of the Body learning experience, where Logan Doctor of Chiropractic students demonstrated the functions of the bones, muscles and organs used when various instruments are played.
“The Tour of the Body was a unique experience for my students,” said James McKay, orchestra director for the Jennings
School District. “For one of them interested in studying mortuary science, this further confirmed the career path she wants to take.”
Visits to campuses like Logan’s are designed to help students develop confidence that they can attend college and inspire them to remain involved with their school music program as part of their pathway to higher education and beyond.
“The Logan community did a wonderful job making each student feel welcome and demonstrating that this is an environment where they belong,” James said.
Pursuing a doctoral program like Logan University’s Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) is a tremendous commitment. But earning an advanced degree while raising children presents an entirely separate and often competing set of challenges.
“I moved to St. Louis from Tennessee to start the DC program at Logan somewhat last minute,” said trimester 5 student Brittany Kidd. “When my husband and our son joined me during my first trimester, we struggled to find reliable child care because we were new to the area and didn’t know anyone.”
Brittany threw herself into researching local day care facilities and other child care options all while being a full-time student, wife and mother.
“I started working with Logan’s student involvement coordinators to take advantage of any resources that were currently in place for students with families,” Brittany said. “A few trimesters later, I connected with Kelsey Provost and Jared Hardina, two students who were in positions similar to the one I had been in during my first trimester.”
Kelsey, Brittany and Jared bonded over the struggles of being parents and students.
“For me, not having a personal recommendation from someone about child care in the area was tough,” said Kelsey, a split trimester 1 and 2 student. “It was so important to me to put my son somewhere he would have a good childhood. The three of us kept talking about how we wished there was a club on campus that would provide some of these additional resources.”
The trio started working on creating their own club: Parents as Chiropractors. After kicking off in September 2022, the 30-member club meets once per week with in-person and virtual options to provide more flexibility for busy schedules.
“Parents as Chiropractors offers resources like budgeting courses and child care facility lists, group tutoring options and study sessions, and overall moral support,” said Jared, a trimester 6 student. “Meeting other parents and having a support group has been so beneficial. We aren’t like most traditional students, so being surrounded by other people who know exactly what you’re going through has been incredible.”
In addition to providing resources to group members, the founders of Parents as Chiropractors are working with Logan to improve things like leave of absence procedures. They’re also in the process of planning fundraising opportunities to help group members who need financial assistance.
“The bottom line is that this program can be tough, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and alone,” Brittany said. “Parents as Chiropractors provides the needed morale booster or stress relief to remind you that there is always someone there to lend a helping hand.”
The group has grown close in a short period of time because of the support and companionship they provide for one another.
“No matter what our members need, we’ll be there to help them however we can,” said Jared. “That’s what families are for.”
“Meeting other parents and having a support group has been so beneficial. We aren’t like most traditional students, so being surrounded by other people who know exactly what you’re going through has been incredible.”

Chiro One Wellness Center co-founder Sam Wang, DC understands the value of a good investment. That is why he and his partner, Stuart Bernsen, DC are donating $100,000 to Logan University’s Advancing Education, Transforming Lives campaign, which is supporting the renovation and expansion of the Fuhr Science Center as well as updates to the Administration Building.
In recognition of their generous donation, one of the newly upgraded and expanded chiropractic technique labs in the Fuhr Science Center will be named after Chiro One.
Equipped with the most up-to-date technology, some of these labs will include force-plate technology, which uses embedded sensors on a human torso model to provide students with immediate feedback on their performance in delivering spinal manipulation. This technology allows students to learn quickly to modulate all aspects of the adjustment and to modify these parameters for each type of patient, gaining competency in several adjustment techniques before putting hands on a patient.
There will also be an Activator technique lab furnished with the latest electronic Activator instruments, which produce an electronic thrust of pressure at the touch of a button, helping prepare students for their entry into the field of chiropractic. Additionally, a rehabilitation lab will provide a hands-on training space for students in athletic training and human performance programs.
Drs. Wang and Bernsen are confident the Chiro One lab will help increase their business’ name recognition and bolster recruitment efforts. “Having a technique lab named for Chiro One is a great honor, and it is something that we are very proud of,” Dr. Wang said. “It certainly says a lot about what we have been able to build. From a practical standpoint, Logan University is a fertile recruiting ground for us. We have been extremely satisfied with the high-caliber graduates who come out of Logan, so we’re always looking for opportunities to attract more Logan graduates.”
Chiro One’s commitment to recruiting from Logan is so strong that Dr. Wang travels from the Chicago area—where Chiro One is headquartered—to the Chesterfield campus to speak to students three to six times each year. He applauds the university’s administration

for recognizing the benefit of bringing successful chiropractors to Logan to share their knowledge and skills.
Another way Drs. Wang and Bernsen are investing in the chiropractors of the future is by funding the Chiro One Wellness Centers’ Endowed Scholarship. Founded in 2018, the scholarship is awarded annually to an outstanding trimester 8, 9 or 10 Logan student who meets certain GPA criteria and has demonstrated an interest in leadership and entrepreneurism, which are two qualities that fueled the Chiro One partners’ success.
The doctors decided to begin their partnership in 2007. At the time, Dr. Bernsen and his two partners owned seven chiropractic offices, while Dr. Wang and his two partners had five and were working on opening a sixth. Today, Chiro One operates 127 locations in 10 states. They employ more than 200 chiropractors with a total staff of about 800, including support, corporate and administrative team members.
In 2019, the partners also co-founded MyoCore, a separate business entity comprised of 17 hospital-based chiropractic offices. Located within hospital settings, MyoCore chiropractic doctors work closely with medical doctors, physical therapists and other health care professionals to solve complex cases.
One of the reasons the co-founders were able to expand Chiro One so quickly is because they understand that most chiropractors are not—or do not want to be—businesspeople. They would rather focus on providing care to their patients.
“We were able to identify the pain points that many chiropractors experience when running their own businesses,” said Dr. Wang. “Marketing, insurance and billing, and managing the business are things that take up a significant amount of time and take chiropractors away from doing what they do best: treating patients.”
Dr. Wang and Dr. Bernsen learned to professionalize their administrative support services and build a successful business
model they were able to replicate. Unique to most large-scale chiropractic businesses, Chiro One provides a 12-week, postgraduate fellowship training program as part of its onboarding process for newly hired chiropractors. Since teaching and training are Dr. Wang’s true passions, he dedicates much of his time to administering this program, which is integral to the success of Chiro One’s business model.
“We want to continue to grow our business, and recruiting chiropractors from
top institutions like Logan is vital to that mission,” said Dr. Wang. “Accordingly, we are delighted to continue to invest our time and resources into maintaining the talent pipeline we have built with Logan.”

The 2023 recipient of the Dr. Beatrice B. Hagen Award, Claire Johnson, DC, MSEd, PhD, DACBSP, FICC believes we may not realize how much has changed until we reflect on where we have been. Her presentation, “Chiropractic, Is It as Good as We Think It Is?” at Logan’s Symposium 2023 will focus on the value of chiropractic and how much chiropractic has evolved since its inception.
Dr. Johnson graduated from Los Angeles College of Chiropractic in Whittier, California, in 1991 at a time when the landscape of chiropractic education and research was beginning to emerge. In 1994, she submitted two abstracts for a conference. One of her abstracts was accepted, but the other was not.
When Dr. Johnson asked the conference chair why one was rejected, she was informed there was no structured peer review process. She later found out the process had not yet been developed for chiropractic education, which sparked her desire to transform these procedures.
“Adversity challenges us to grow,” said Dr. Johnson. “At that time, I recognized that change was needed in the conference process. From that point forward, I was determined to improve the system.”
Over time, Dr. Johnson reformed the peer review process by ensuring that the distribution of the call for abstracts, the abstract submission criteria, the submission process, the selection of the peer review committee, the critical peer review process, and the way final abstracts are selected is fair and transparent while also producing the highest quality content.
Dr. Johnson is currently a full-time professor at the National University of Health Sciences in Lombard, Illinois, and serves as editor in chief for three scientific journals: the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine, and the Journal of Chiropractic Humanities. She also sees patients as a per diem provider for Stanford Health Care in an interdisciplinary, on-site wellness center at the Qualcomm Health Center in San Diego, California.
“Clinical practice allows me to appreciate the incredible value of chiropractic and also keeps me grounded in person-centered care in the research work that
I do,” said Dr. Johnson.
In 2020, Dr. Johnson and her husband, Bart Green, DC, MSEd, PhD established the Chiropractic Educators Research Forum (CERF), an organization dedicated to increasing scholarship and research capacity for chiropractic educators throughout the world. CERF conferences produce training videos and publish proceedings in the Journal of Chiropractic Education and create white papers on vital topics that help chiropractic educators engage in research and scholarship.
“As chiropractic practitioners, we must balance the art, science and philosophy of principles and practice to be effective,” said Dr. Johnson. “If we miss employing any one of these pieces, we lose our equilibrium. When we are in balance, we value what we do and are successful. In the end, our chiropractic students, patients and those we serve will benefit.”
Dr. Johnson is involved in the North American Spine Society. As a member of the Interdisciplinary Committee, she makes presentations to interdisciplinary audiences regarding models for spine care and spine-related public health. She has also volunteered as a facilitator for the Global Spine Care Initiative, which developed an evidence-informed spine care model for communities around the world. Furthermore, she serves as chair of the Public Health Committee for the World Federation of Chiropractic, has dedicated years of service to the American Public Health Association (APHA), and is a member of the NCMIC Board of Directors.
“My mentors taught me the value of collaborative projects: The quality is usually better when we work together,” Dr. Johnson said. “Through these experiences, I learned to work with others fearlessly by putting the needs of others first. When we focus on what is best for our patients and community, conflicts diminish, and the quality of our relationships and work vastly improves. We best serve our profession by serving others.”
In addition to her Dr. Beatrice B. Hagen Award, Dr. Johnson has been honored with the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians Sports Chiropractor of the Year Award; Clinical Compass Person of the Year Award; the Presidential Award from the American Chiropractic Association; and the Rising Star Award and the Distinguished Service Award from the APHA.
“There is no better time to be a Doctor of Chiropractic,” Dr. Johnson said. “The future opportunities for the chiropractic profession are even better than we can imagine them to be. It is up to us to realize and then implement positive changes for the greater good so that chiropractic’s future will continue to be bright.”

It is with great sadness that we mourn the loss of William Purser, DC (’54), who passed away February 5, 2023, at the age of 101. Over the years, Dr. Purser has been a tremendous supporter of Logan, making significant financial commitments toward campaigns, student scholarships and capital improvement projects, including a $1 million gift toward construction of the William D. Purser, DC Center. He referred more than a dozen students to Logan and made several trips to campus over the years. One of his last visits was in 2018 when he attended Symposium and made an additional $1 million gift to the university. In 2021, Dr. Purser was among the inaugural recipients of the Spirit of Logan Distinguished Alumni Award, which recognizes individuals who have demonstrated exemplary activity in leadership, philanthropy, industry achievement and service.
The Logan University community offers its deepest condolences to the family of Helen Marie Nothstine, who served as a secretary at the Montgomery Health Center for more than 21 years before retiring in January 2016. She passed away January 8, 2023.

FICS has also launched a new scholarship for members starting their first practice. Eligibility and submission details are available at FICS.Sport/Building-ARemarkable-Practice. To continue funding scholarships like this as well as research and placement of doctors at international events, FICS has established the Sports Chiropractic Foundation. Please consider making a donation at FICS.Sport/SportsChiropractic-Foundation. We thank you in advance for your support.
Logan has been an incredible longterm partner for FICS by making sure the university community can access our many offerings. Regardless of your stage of study or practice, our website, FICS.Sport, has opportunities for you to attend seminars and games as well as online webinars, master classes and other resources geared to keep you on the cutting edge of sports chiropractic. You’ll also find our e-news updates that provide the full picture of everything happening at FICS.
2022, the WFC is currently focused on the 17th WFC Biennial Congress, which will take place October 11-14, 2023, in beautiful Queensland, Australia. With the theme “Let’s Start with The Patient,” the congress will emphasize the importance of providing people-centered chiropractic care.
A highlight of the WFC ACC Global Education Conference was the launch of the new International Chiropractic Education Alliance, which will bring together the world’s chiropractic education providers under one banner. Logan President Clay McDonald, DC (’82), MBA, JD is serving on the steering committee of this new organization operating within the WFC to provide a forum to share best practices and discuss matters relevant to chiropractic education.
In June 2023, the International Federation of Sports Chiropractic/ Fédération Internationale de Chiropratique du Sport (FICS) is heading to Paris to host the FICS General Assembly and 2023 Global Sports Chiropractic Symposium in partnership with the French Council of Sports Chiropractic and the French Chiropractic Association. The theme, “Road to Paris Olympics 2024” will present the stages of an athlete’s journey as they prepare to compete at the highest level of their sport. Learn more at FICS.Sport/Paris-FICS-Symposium.
In November 2022, the WFC also held its Annual Assembly of Members. I am proud to announce that more than 45 national association WFC members welcomed the Pakistan Chiropractic Association as our newest member. The national association of chiropractors representing Azerbaijan has also been granted provisional membership pending acceptance at this year’s Annual Assembly.
Having recently concluded a highly successful World Federation of Chiropractic (WFC) Association of Chiropractic Colleges (ACC) Global Education Conference at Logan University in November
The WFC continues to work closely with the World Health Organization (WHO) on the Benchmarks for Training in Chiropractic project. The WFC and WHO are currently collaborating to develop a global status survey, which will be the largest of its kind ever undertaken. Our goal is to build an authoritative repository of information about the chiropractic profession worldwide. In February 2023, I met with several United Nations Permanent Missions in Geneva to advocate for a new WHO resolution that will strengthen rehabilitation in health systems. It garnered unanimous support from WHO members.
As I look around Logan’s campus this spring, I see growth. Students are gaining knowledge and skills to become trailblazers, innovators and leaders in evidence-based, integrated health care. Faculty are launching new, in-demand degree programs that will enable graduates to meet the needs of current and future patients. Staff are forging partnerships and collaborations with organizations to increase people’s access to conservative, quality care and advance Logan’s stellar reputation across the globe.
I also see significant progress on the renovation and expansion of the Fuhr Science Center and Administration Building. After introducing the Advancing Education, Transforming Lives campaign in spring 2022, hundreds of generous supporters have contributed to this historic campus improvement project. I’m grateful for everyone who braved the 93-degree heat to celebrate the Fuhr Science Center groundbreaking on May 12. It was a pleasure to mark this milestone with the many donors who made construction possible.
Gifts of all sizes continue to sustain this important endeavor. We deeply appreciate your investment in the state-of-the-art technology and hands-on learning opportunities that are so integral to our students’ success. Please join me in following along with construction site progress at Logan.edu/Campaign.
It is my hope this annual report will offer a snapshot of the inspiring developments I’ve had the privilege of witnessing at Logan from September 2021 to August 2022, including the impact scholarships have had on our students and the individuals who work tirelessly to enhance their education. It also provides the fiscal year financial reports, which show that Logan maintains its strong financial position.
None of this would be possible without your support. Within these pages, we recognize individuals who made a financial gift, referred new students to Logan or offered their time and talents as a preceptor doctor. All of you play an essential role in sustaining our commitment to excellence in everything we do.
Thank you for helping to ensure a bright future for Logan University. We look forward to continuing to build a stronger, safer and healthier world through education, service, health science and chiropractic care.
Sincerely,
Theresa L. Fleck, MA, CFRE, CAE Vice President of Institutional Advancement
Jan Roberts, DC (’79) was a professional skier when his life changed course. An accident on a racecourse left him with a painful neck injury. The resulting loss of strength in his left arm was so severe that he could not use his left hand to clip the fingernails on his right. The opioids he was prescribed made him feel lousy and did not remedy his malady, so his doctors recommended exploratory neck surgery to try to discover the source of the problem.
“This was before CAT scans and MRIs,” Dr. Roberts said. “I thought, ‘Exploratory surgery on my neck? These people are crazy!’ So, I decided to see my cousin, Tim Dennis, DC who went on to become the first Department of Veterans Affairs chiropractor at the Togus Regional Office in Augusta, Maine.”
Dr. Dennis took an X-ray and identified what was causing the issue. A chiropractic adjustment enabled Dr. Roberts to stop taking opioids the next day and regain strength in his left arm.
Dr. Roberts began to consider a career as a DC after experiencing chiropractic’s ability to make a positive change in people’s lives. He decided to visit Logan University, where he was hosted by Bob Lynch, DC (’76). During a clinical visit with Dr. Lynch, everyone he encountered encouraged him to become a chiropractor. He attended a class with Logan instructor Roy Hillgartner, DC (’69) the next morning and decided to make providing chiropractic care his mission in life.
Following graduation from Logan, Dr. Roberts opened and continues to operate his practice, HealthQuest Chiropractic, in Farmington, Maine. He blends his knowledge of chiropractic and skiing to help athletes improve their performance. Over the years, he has had the opportunity to treat many of the world’s top alpine skiers, including Olympic gold, silver and bronze medalists, and was appointed the first World Pro Ski Tour chiropractor.
In addition to operating his practice, Dr. Roberts serves on the Clinical Advisory Board of Activator Methods International. He has taught the Activator Method to chiropractic students around the world with Arlan W. Fuhr, DC (’61), founder and chairman of Activator Methods International.
“I’ve always believed the more you give, the more you receive,” said Dr. Roberts. “I think there is a correlation between the success I have enjoyed and the high-quality training I received at Logan. I wanted to make a meaningful contribution to repay Logan for everything it has given me and pay it forward.”
Dr. Roberts recently made a generous donation to the Advancing Education, Transforming Lives campaign, which is supporting the Fuhr Science Center’s new state-of-the-art anatomy
labs, an anatomage center, chiropractic technique labs, radiography center and more. He is excited to help ensure Logan remains at the forefront of evidence-based health care.
“Someone has to be the first chiropractor in space, on the moon or on Mars,” said Dr. Roberts. “I want that person to go through Logan and the Fuhr Science Center. I encourage all alumni to pay it forward by donating to upgrade our school. Chiropractic has helped me and so many other people, and I am proud to invest in Logan’s future. Together we can make Logan stronger through the multiple opportunities there are to invest.”
Dr. Roberts believes helping more students become successful DCs will expand the number of people around the globe who benefit from chiropractic care.
“Trying to change billions of lives through chiropractic is what I’m about,” said Dr. Roberts. “Chiropractic has a much bigger reach than adjusting just one person. Right now, people are being adjusted all over the world with the Activator Method and by Logan graduates. You never know how one adjustment might change a person’s life, set them on a healthy course and benefit the human experience.”

Many chiropractors establish scholarship funds to help pass the knowledge and skills they have acquired throughout their careers to future generations. Created as an investment in Logan’s Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) students, the 2022 Dr. B.E. Doyle Scholarship was awarded to trimester 6 student Michael Cutchins.
“Earning a degree from a top-tier school like Logan is a major investment,” said Michael. “While I am certain it will pay off, every bit of help along the way is more than appreciated. It means so much that people like Dr. Doyle who came before me thought to establish a scholarship to help those of us just entering the field. In addition to financial support, I used the scholarship funds to attend a seminar.”
While Michael has benefited from chiropractic care most of his life, it was the treatment he received following a car accident when he was 16 that really opened his eyes to the impact it can have. He was prescribed pain medications after the accident, but his injuries persisted. Two years later, he was having a difficult time walking, which led his doctors to recommend surgery.
“Knowing what I know now, the type of surgery my doctors were pushing would have negatively impacted the rest of my life,” said Michael. “Thankfully, family friend Lisa Calhoun, DC (’92) introduced me to the benefits of structural therapy, which ultimately restored my mobility and enabled me to enlist in the United States Navy as a cryptologic technician after I graduated from high school.”
After serving two years in the Navy, Michael earned two associate’s degrees in electrical engineering from Gulf Coast State College in Panama City, Florida, before realizing it was not the right path for him. Having excelled in advanced math and science courses, he thought back to his experience with Dr. Calhoun and began considering chiropractic as a career.
“I clearly remember Dr. Calhoun saying to me, ‘In this profession, it has to come to you,’” Michael said. “I immediately knew what she meant. While I had explored a couple of different paths, my heart kept bringing me back to two things. One was my experience as a chiropractic patient. The other was an opportunity I had to use my military
background to help with disaster relief efforts following Hurricane Michael, a 2018 storm that ravaged the Gulf Coast, which is my home.”
Those two things helped Michael find his passion. He hopes to dedicate his career to providing chiropractic care to those who need it, especially veterans like his father, who has a 100 percent disability rating.
Michael is working toward his goal by pursuing his DC and bachelor’s degree in Life Sciences from Logan. Reflecting on his visits to various schools, he said choosing Logan was easy.
“The campus itself is so beautiful, but what most impressed me were the state-of-the-art facilities, the incredibly high caliber of the staff and the fact that no one was pushy,” Michael said. “I thought it said a lot that they don’t need to do a hard sell here. Logan sells itself.”
After graduation in 2024, Michael is looking forward to returning home to Panama City to practice with Dr. Calhoun while also working to make chiropractic more available and accessible to veterans. He is also eager to spend more time with his wife, Hannah, whose support has enabled him to achieve his dreams. In the meantime, he is evaluating Preceptorship Program locations with the goal of finding one with a military connection.
“If I can treat even just one patient and have a profound impact on at least one other person’s life, I will be fulfilled,” Michael said.
“If I can treat even just one patient and have a profound impact on at least one other person’s life, I will be fulfilled.”
Trimester 8 Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) student Gina Potts was first introduced to chiropractic care while she was in high school.
“One of the chiropractors from my hometown of Bozeman, Montana, came to our school to provide free chiropractic care to athletes,” Gina said. “I suffered a pretty severe concussion in one of my basketball games, and this chiropractor helped get me back to playing again.”
During her visits to the chiropractic office over the next few weeks, Gina became increasingly fascinated with what she saw and experienced. She spoke with her chiropractor about the profession and his background before deciding to shadow him. She quickly realized this was the career she wanted to pursue and started working as a chiropractic assistant in his office.
“I was in awe of the way he helped so many people every day, from athletes like me to children to older people and everyone in between,” said Gina. “People came into the office in pain and left in a completely different mood.”
After graduating high school, Gina attended Montana State University (MSU) to pursue a degree in exercise science while continuing her work as a chiropractic assistant. When it came time for Gina to consider which chiropractic school she wanted to attend, she already had an idea of where to start.
“Several of the chiropractors in my office attended Logan, and they all had such incredible things to say about the university,” Gina said. “I valued their opinions, so I booked a trip to visit.”
Gina fell in love with the campus and felt her values and ideals aligned well with Logan’s approach to education and curriculum. She packed up and drove to Missouri after her graduation from MSU in 2020.
During her time at Logan, Gina has been involved in Logan Student Government, tutors for numerous courses and is now vice president and secretary of the new Logan Sports Chiropractic Club.
“I like giving back to the place that has given me so much,” Gina said. “Because of Logan, I get to pursue a career in a field I am passionate about, and I’m really thankful for that.”
Gina is also grateful for the support of donors who make scholarships possible, including the Dr. Paul Cornelius Endowment Scholarship that she received.
“It’s so humbling and rewarding to earn a scholarship,” Gina said.
“Postgraduate education can be expensive, but it is incredibly worth it. I used my scholarship this trimester to help pay for my Board exams.”
Because of her scholarship, Gina has been able to engage in many opportunities Logan students have to serve, learn and lead.
“The more time students spend focusing on their studies, attending seminars and honing their craft—rather than worrying about finances— the more knowledgeable and experienced they will become. This will create a generation of chiropractors who want to help the profession grow and thrive, which is what we all want.”
Gina, who is preparing to graduate in fall 2023, is in the process of choosing her Preceptorship Program location.
“I feel like the sky is the limit, and I’m really excited for my future and what’s to come,” said Gina. “I am going to make my way back to the Rocky Mountains to work as an associate, and one day I’d like to become a part-time professor at an undergraduate university. I have really enjoyed being a tutor and would love to continue working with students.”
Each year, we celebrate the generous and heartfelt support of alumni, faculty, donors and friends at our Symposium. During the Awards & Scholarship Luncheon, scholarship recipients like Michael and Gina have the chance to meet and thank the donors who have made a direct impact on their education and future career. Save the date for the 8th annual Symposium, taking place April 13-16, 2023, on campus and at St. Louis Union Station.
Logan University continues its strong financial position due to disciplined management, thorough governance structure and steady leadership. Our net assets stand at $103 million, with strong cash and investment balances over $59 million.
