2024-2025 Annual Report of Giving
from PRESIDENT H. GARRETT THOMPSON
As I mark my first year as President, I’m grateful for the conversations, chance meetings, and daily interactions that have shaped my start at Logan. Those moments have reinforced what makes this university special, and they are guiding the work ahead as we move from planning to action.
Reading this issue of The Tower, I’m reminded that Logan University’s strength is our people—students, alumni, faculty, staff, and partners who lead with purpose. You will see career strategists guiding students toward meaningful work, alumni applying their education in fields ranging from space exploration to professional sports, and supporters expanding access through scholarships. Stories like these reflect the priorities in our new Mission and Vision statements (Logan.edu/Mission-Vision-Values) and the momentum we are building together.
Together, they paint a picture of a community defined not just by
excellence, but by purpose, compassion and a shared commitment to elevating Logan’s future.
Logan University has been actively strengthening the campus leadership as we begin implementing the objectives laid out in our new three-year Strategic Plan (Logan.edu/Logan-Strategic-Plan). We are proud to welcome John Massena, Vice President of Enrollment Management; Sarah Gladson, Director of Marketing; Dr. Cory Viehl, Dean of the College of Health Sciences; Dr. Ryan McDonnell, Dean of Student Affairs; and Dr. Kyle Prusso, Director of Health Centers. In short order, this group of leaders is already reshaping the way we serve our students and the broader community.
Logan University is taking a closer look at everything we do—every program, every initiative, every experience, every investment—to ensure alignment with our mission, to best serve our community, and to successfully execute our Strategic Plan. One of the most visible changes you will notice is that the Fall 2026 issue of The Tower will only be available in a digital format. Naturally, they will still contain all the same great content and stories you have come to expect. The Spring issues of
The Tower will continue to be printed and mailed to you, and as always, will contain our Annual Report of Giving and Symposium insert. This is just one example (and most germane to this letter) of our willingness to examine ourselves honestly and determine how to best reallocate resources to make the greatest impact.
If “Year One” was about laying the foundation, then “Year Two” is about getting it done. We are moving from planning to action, from conversation to implementation. And we are doing so with confidence and momentum.
Your support, your pride, and your belief in this institution—your institution—continues to fuel our progress. Thank you for staying connected, for championing our students, and for helping us achieve great heights.
Sincerely,
H. Garrett Thompson, DC, PhD President, Logan University

The William D. Purser, DC Center on Logan’s campus will soon be home to new busts of Logan’s founder and first president, Hugh B. Logan, DC and his son Vinton Logan, DC, who served as the university’s second president. As a tribute to the leaders who shaped Logan’s foundation, each bust holds the ashes of the man it honors, creating a permanent, personal connection between them and the legacy they helped build.
Logan University is pleased to welcome John Massena as vice president of enrollment management. John has more than 20 years of experience leading enrollment growth, marketing strategy and student-centered recruitment initiatives across public and private higher education institutions. “This role was created to bring together admissions, financial aid and marketing in a way that reflects our shared commitment to supporting students and families at every stage of their journey,” said Logan President H. Garrett Thompson, DC, PhD. “We are excited for the collaboration this position will foster across our campus and the positive impact it will have on our community.”
The dedication and enthusiasm of students, faculty, staff and generous matching gift donors made Logan’s 2025 Day of Giving on November 12 and 13 a resounding success. With the support of Cobb Community Foundation and 84 donors, they raised $121,183 in just 36 hours. The funds were used to renovate the William M. Harris, DC Sports & Wellness Center on Logan’s campus to enhance facilities, equipment and the overall user experience. Read more about the renovation on page 45.
To honor and celebrate the legacy of long-time faculty member Marcus De Geer, DC (’01), MD, who passed away March 19, 2025, a memorial bench was placed in front of the Fuhr Science Center where his office was located. Logan’s Faculty Senate led the initiative to collect donations, which covered the cost to purchase the bench and supported the creation of a one-time memorial scholarship, which will be awarded to a Logan student.

CHARBEL HARB, DC (’09), LAC CERT. DN, didn’t begin his career in elite sports, although he always envisioned working at a high-performance level. After a science-focused education, he briefly pivoted to working a corporate job in Indianapolis. While the position came with many perks, he felt it lacked a sense of purpose.
At the same time, Dr. Harb was dealing with persistent neck pain. After trying a few traditional approaches without success, a friend suggested chiropractic care.
“Within two hours of my first treatment, I gained over 80 percent of my neck range of motion,” he said.
That experience, combined with his interest in science, movement and human performance, led him to Logan University. He completed a Bachelor of Science in Life Science while earning his Doctor of Chiropractic (DC).
Dr. Harb opened his first clinic in Indianapolis in 2010. Over the next several
years, the practice grew into Integrated Health Solutions, expanding into a larger space, hiring staff and steadily refining its focus. Dr. Harb intentionally immersed himself in athletic environments, spending time in gyms, CrossFit spaces, boxing circles and other performance-based communities, building relationships and trust that naturally translated into patient care.
Over time, that foundation opened doors to higher levels of sport. Dr. Harb remembers treating his first NFL player 12 years ago, an experience that reinforced the importance of preparation, professionalism and consistency. From there, his athlete network quickly grew to include professional football and basketball players, world champions, Olympic-level athletes, and national and collegiate teams.
When it comes to working with teams, Dr. Harb believes tight coordination, often directly with athletic trainers, is essential.
“Emphasizing direct, fast updates and shared goals helps everyone focus on recovery and return to play,” he said. “The objective is to avoid unnecessary downtime.”
For chiropractic students who aspire to treat athletes, Dr. Harb recommends planning backward from the goal.
“Start with the end in mind,” he said. “Visualize where you want to be in five years, then build the skills and knowledge athletes are looking for long before you meet them.”
GORDON CLARK, a trimester 9 Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) student and dually enrolled Master of Science in Sports Science & Rehabilitation (MSSSR) student, returned home to Canada this winter to begin his preceptorship at Durham Spine & Sports Clinic in Whitby, Ontario. At Logan, he immersed himself in campus life, stayed closely connected to Canadian chiropractic practices and board requirements, and kept

his hockey skills sharp.
Gordon grew up in Oshawa, Ontario, and spent much of his childhood playing hockey with his father. When a car accident left his dad in severe pain, a chiropractor helped him recover and return to the ice to play with his son.
“That was when I knew this was what I wanted to do,” Gordon said. “Seeing how chiropractic care gave my dad his life back showed me how powerful it can be.”
He earned his bachelor’s degree in human kinetics from the University of Ottawa. During the pandemic, he discovered Logan through a virtual information session and was drawn to its hands-on training, the MSSSR program and the opportunity to complete his DC preceptorship back in Canada.
“It just fit perfectly,” he said. “I took my final undergrad exam on a Thursday, moved to St. Louis on Saturday and jumped right in. The program offered exactly what I was looking for.”
Gordon served as class president, student ambassador and member of Logan Student Government. With the help of classmate Sam Follett, he helped relaunch
the Canadian Chiropractic Club to connect students with mentorship and professional development opportunities through the Canadian Chiropractic Association. Hockey remained a central part of his life. He cocaptained Logan’s intramural hockey team to a league championship. As part of his clinical training, he also shadowed chiropractors for the St. Louis Blues. Gordon credits Logan with preparing him to transition confidently into practice.
“Logan gives you real experience early on,” he said. “You’re working with patients, learning from faculty and figuring out what kind of chiropractor you want to become.”
Now back in Canada, Gordon hopes to eventually open a practice that incorporates sports care.
“Logan has given me the tools and confidence to make an impact,” he said. “I can’t wait to start helping people.”
as clinical research methods, clinical trial design, medical writing and presentation skills, and grant writing. To augment their learning, participants will receive mentorship from experienced researchers in Pitt’s School of Health and Rehab Sciences and gain access to Pitt’s research resources.
“Mentorship is based on the individual needs of participants,” Dr. Khan said. “I will be matched with mentors based on my research interests and areas in need of further development. They will also tailor my educational plan to accommodate my learning style.”
Additionally, Pitt’s team of investigators will facilitate multidisciplinary research through a virtual collaborative and provide pilot funding for participants to execute their research.
JEVINNE KHAN, DC (’20), staff clinician for Logan University Integrated Health Centers, was selected to participate in the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) Encouraging Research in Complementary and Integrative Health Institutions (ENRICH) program. By leveraging Pitt’s comprehensive resources and network of mentors in complementary and integrative health (CIH) institutions, the year-long program aims to help CIH institutions like Logan improve their research infrastructure and build the research careers of the next generation of CIH clinician-scientists.
“Research is an area I’m very interested in,” Dr. Khan said. “I’ve been involved in several research projects, but I didn’t have training and was learning as I went along. ENRICH is an exciting opportunity to receive formal instruction and fill in the gaps.”
ENRICH’s asynchronous online educational modules will cover topics such
“My clinical background is in integrated healthcare with a focus on managing chronic pain and practicing as a medically integrated chiropractic physician,” Dr. Khan said. “I also have experience training chiropractic students. Consequently, my research interests include the interdisciplinary management of chronic pain and musculoskeletal conditions as well as research in chiropractic clinical education.”
Dr. Khan’s previous research projects include publishing a study in the Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association: “A narrative review of social determinants of health education in health professional programs and potential pathways for integration into Doctor of Chiropractic programs.” She also developed a white paper for the St. Louis Regional Health Commission titled “Addressing Chronic Pain: Integrating Physical Function Services into Community Health Centers.”
“I am actively developing several research projects, making the timing of this program especially advantageous,” Dr. Khan said. “I look forward to gaining valuable knowledge and mentorship that will help elevate the quality of my research. Most importantly I hope to use what I learn to benefit both students and Logan as a whole.”

MEDIAN SALARY OF LOGAN GRADUATES BASED ON CAREER SERVICES ENGAGEMENT
Chiropractic Residency Emphasizes Care, Collaboration and Quality
Multidisciplinary care at the Medical College of Wisconsin’s (MCW) SpineCare clinic is delivered by a skilled and collaborative team of physicians and healthcare professionals, including chiropractors, neurological and orthopedic surgeons, rehabilitation specialists, physical therapists and more.
The SpineCare clinic started in the mid1990s with one chiropractor and now employs five full-time chiropractors and one full-time chiropractic resident, three of whom are Logan University graduates: Jeffrey King, DC (’11), MS (’12); Jordan Gliedt, DC (’11); and Mara Alayón Rullán, DC (’25).
“When I joined the SpineCare team in 2014, I was drawn to the transdisciplinary nature of the clinic,” said Dr. King, who now serves as the clinic’s first-ever director of chiropractic and an associate professor in the Department of Neurosurgery. “It was an opportunity to meaningfully provide better care to patients.”
The clinic’s collaborative environment inspired Dr. King to expand educational opportunities for Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) students. In 2018, he helped launch
a preceptorship program allowing students to learn and train at the SpineCare clinic.
Dr. Gliedt, who joined MCW in 2017, currently directs the program.
“We are surrounded by clinicians mentoring learners, so a preceptorship seemed like a natural extension at an academic medical center,” Dr. King said. “Dr. Gliedt does a tremendous job and has a true passion for the program’s success.”
The preceptorship sparked an idea for a longer, more comprehensive educational program. In 2024, MCW officially started its Doctor of Chiropractic Residency program, a one-year postgraduate clinical training opportunity.
The residency offers hands-on training with faculty chiropractors, interdisciplinary rotations and educational programming designed to strengthen clinical reasoning

and critical thinking skills. Dr. Gliedt, who developed the residency curriculum, said the program is intentionally rigorous and resident-centered.
“Our primary goal is to prepare residents with the advanced knowledge, skills and experiences they need to progress into independent practice as spine and musculoskeletal-focused chiropractors within a multidisciplinary health system,” Dr. Gliedt said. “That includes learning how to integrate evidence into clinical decision-making, collaborate effectively across professions and engage in lifelong learning.”
Dr. King credits Dr. Gliedt’s leadership as foundational to the program’s success.
“Dr. Gliedt’s involvement can’t be overstated,” Dr. King said. “He was responsible for developing the curriculum, which I feel is truly groundbreaking in the profession. The residency would not exist as it does today without him.”
Logan alumna Aubrianna Jones, DC (’23) became the program’s first resident in July 2024.
“In many ways, words fall short of describing the residency’s impact,” Dr. Jones said. “It fostered a space for growth, community and shared purpose that extended far beyond clinical training. At the heart of the experience were the people and their selfless mentorship, which continue to shape who I am as a learner, educator and leader in the health sciences. Being immersed in an academic medical center and collaborating daily across disciplines reshaped my foundation for patient care.”
The MCW team said Dr. Jones played a key role in shaping the residency during its inaugural year. Dr. King noted that her willingness to challenge herself and engage in new learning environments set the tone for future residents.
“We will forever be indebted to Dr. Jones for being the first resident,” Dr. King said. “She pushed herself and all of us to be the best versions we can be.”
Since its launch, the residency has
continued to evolve, incorporating more resident-centered learning opportunities and a continual quality improvement process. In July 2025, Dr. Gliedt assumed the role of residency program director.
As program director, Dr. Gliedt meets with the resident weekly to assess learning and programmatic progress, review didactic learning, discuss clinical cases, engage in critical assessment skill-building exercises, and support individual career development plans.
“In addition to my director duties, I work very closely with the resident and other program faculty,” Dr. Gliedt said. “We rotate as the primary attending for the resident on continuous two-week cycles. During that time, we review clinical skills, knowledge and case assessments.”
Dr. Alayón Rullán is the program’s second resident and says the collaboration is “without a doubt” one of the program’s greatest strengths.
“There is a strong sense of teamwork, open and effective communication, and a mutual respect across the residents,
attendings and staff,” said Dr. Alayón Rullán. “My favorite part has been the opportunity to continue growing and learning in an environment where education and patient care are top priority, along with mentorship and the exchanging of knowledge by the attendings.”
For Drs. King and Gliedt, the program’s growth reflects planning and insights from the residents themselves.
“The residents’ experiences and voices are integral to how we evaluate and refine the program,” Dr. Gliedt said. “It’s been a privilege to walk alongside them and see them grow clinically and professionally.”
Graduates who are interested in the residency are encouraged to look for opportunities to advance their learning, especially in collaborative settings.
“Both Drs. Jones and Alayón Rullán completed integrative health rotations and training while students at Logan,” Dr. King said. “They both exhibited characteristics of humility, discipline and a thirst for continuous improvement, which is exactly what we’re looking for in our residents.”
“Our primary goal is to prepare residents with the advanced knowledge, skills and experiences they need to progress into independent practice as spine and musculoskeletal-focused chiropractors within a multidisciplinary health system.”

Logan University Health Centers Help Keep Lifelong Violinist in Tune
When Judy Lindquist first visited Logan University’s Montgomery Health Center on campus more than a decade ago, she was seeking relief from neck pain that had built up over years of teaching and performing music. Today, she feels like she is a part of one big family.
“I’ve been coming to the Montgomery Health Center for years because it’s effective and affordable and everyone truly cares,” Judy said. “They listen and make you feel comfortable and cared for every time you walk in.”
Music is an integral part of Judy’s life. A lifelong violin player and former music teacher, she is now a freelance violinist and serves as music director and organist at her church.
“Visiting the clinic is part of my routine, and it’s the maintenance that keeps me healthy, active and doing what I love,” Judy said. “If I skip my regular appointments, I feel it. After every visit, I can play music again pain-free. That means everything.”
“Judy shows up engaged and invested in her own progress. Being a part of her care team has taught me to listen for how well patients know their own bodies and the importance of educating them on how to get ahead of their discomfort.”
– Emma Tippie
Mero Nunez, DC (‘88), clinician and associate professor at Logan has worked with Judy for the past four years. His care team takes a collaborative approach, focusing on improving patients’ quality of life rather than simply reacting to pain or flare-ups.
“Judy understands the need to be proactive with her health,” Dr. Nunez said. “At this stage in her treatment plan, it’s about providing periodic care, including spinal adjustments, manual therapy and advice on home exercises and stretches. When we get to know what a patient values, we can better support them.”
That philosophy is ingrained in Logan’s Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) program. DC students rotate through Logan Health Centers under the supervision of faculty clinicians, and working with Judy has been a formative experience for many of them.
“Judy shows up engaged and invested in her own progress,” said Emma Tippie, a trimester 8 DC student. “Being a part of her care team has taught me to listen for how well patients know their own bodies and the importance of educating them on how to get ahead of their discomfort.”
Bryce Tucker, a trimester 8 DC student, said Judy’s openness to different approaches has helped her grow in the clinic. After Bryce introduced a cervical flexion-distraction technique, Judy reported a noticeable reduction in neck stiffness and pain.
“She always comes in with excitement and a positive attitude, and she’s very in tune with her body, which gives us a

better understanding of what’s effective,” Bryce said.
For Judy, being in a unique environment where students gain hands-on learning is part of the appeal of Logan Health Centers.
“Every new student doctor brings something different, including the latest techniques,” Judy said. “That’s what I love about coming here.”
Now a familiar face at the Montgomery Health Center, Judy is viewed not just as a patient, but as part of the Logan community.

MSCP Graduate Expands Family-Centered Chiropractic Practice in the UK
When Rhiannon West, DC, MChiro, FRCC first encountered chiropractic care as a teenager in Wales, she was skeptical. At the time, she had her sights set on radiology. However, after watching chiropractic care help her mother recover from a post-surgical frozen shoulder without additional medical intervention, she became inspired.
“That was the turning point,” Rhiannon said. “I realized chiropractic wasn’t just about pain. It was neurology, radiology and rehabilitation. It was comprehensive.”
That realization set her on a path to the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic, where she earned a Master of Science in Integrative Chiropractic degree, to clinical practice in Norfolk, England. Most recently, it led her to Logan University.
In August 2025, Rhiannon completed Logan’s Master of Science in Chiropractic Pediatrics (MSCP) program, a milestone she said has fundamentally changed how she practices. Rhiannon currently works at Wymondham Chiropractic and Acupuncture Clinic in Norfolk alongside eight other chiropractors. Before pursuing advanced pediatric training from Logan, she treated children only occasionally.
“I wanted a pediatric program that built on my skills as a chiropractor, not something that diluted them,” she said. “Logan’s program checked every box. It was chiropractic-focused, globally relevant and far more comprehensive than comparable offerings closer to home.”
She enrolled in 2023 and completed the program two years later, traveling to the United States for two intensive, hands-on PedTRA sessions and for graduation.
“The campus, the experience—it was first-class,” she said.
Since completing the MSCP program, Rhiannon has noticed a tangible shift, not just in her confidence, but in her practice. A large portion of her new
patients are children, driven largely by word-of-mouth referrals from families and other professionals.
She commonly sees infants with head preference issues and plagiocephaly, often following complex births or cesarean sections. Increasingly, she is also working with children experiencing neurodevelopmental challenges, such as ADHD and autism.
Rhiannon credits the program’s breadth for giving her direction beyond technique alone. While hands-on skills remain central, courses in pediatric nutrition stood out as particularly impactful for her.
“It gave me the ability to guide parents in a more holistic way,” she said. “Not just chiropractic, but how nutrition and development fit into the bigger picture.”
Rhiannon’s long-term vision is clear: a truly family-centered practice where care extends across generations. Mothers, fathers, infants and children will all be supported within a collaborative, community-focused model.
That vision is already taking shape. Just before she graduated from Logan, Wymondham Chiropractic and Acupuncture Clinic expanded its pediatric offerings with a newly designed treatment room tailored specifically for children. The space reflects Rhiannon’s growing role within the clinic and the value her advanced training brings to the team.
For chiropractors considering advanced pediatric training, her advice is simple but emphatic.
“Go for it. Don’t hesitate,” Rhiannon said. “It’s changed my practice completely. I can help more children and more families, and that’s everything to me.”
“I wanted a pediatric program that built on my skills as a chiropractor, not something that diluted them.”

From Flight Paramedic to Industry Innovator: How Logan’s Ed.D. Program Shaped Dr. Eric Bauer’s Leadership Journey
For more than three decades, Eric Bauer, Ed.D. (’25), MBA, FP-C, CCP-C, WP-C, C-NPT, FAASTN has
worked in emergency medical services, with more than 20 years in air medical and critical care transport. His career has seamlessly blended clinical operations, education and leadership across flight programs and national organizations. Today, he leads FlightBridgeED, a company he founded to elevate education, standards and outcomes across the flight paramedicine and critical care transport industries.
The idea for FlightBridgeED began with a simple observation. “There was a gap between the level of education frontline providers were getting and the actual complexity of care we were delivering in the air,” Dr. Bauer said.
What started as a podcast and a few educational courses quickly grew into a fullscale education and consulting organization, offering advanced training, simulation and continuing education for critical care transport professionals.
“Our goal was to build something that elevated clinical standards, supported providers and ultimately improved patient outcomes,” Dr. Bauer said.
Dr. Bauer’s passion for learning led him to pursue his Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in Health Professions Education at Logan University. “Logan had exactly what I needed: a program grounded in educational science but highly relevant to healthcare,” he said. “Their emphasis on instructional design, competency-based assessment and real-world application aligned perfectly with the work I was already doing.”
He graduated from the program in 2025,
calling the experience both challenging and transformative. “The program sharpened my ability to design courses, evaluate outcomes and understand the educational needs of adult learners at a much deeper level,” Dr. Bauer said. “It also strengthened my leadership approach, especially around organizational culture, team development and change management.”
Running a growing company while pursuing a doctorate degree wasn’t easy. Dr. Bauer credits discipline, structure and teamwork for helping him stay focused. “I had to be intentional with early mornings, late nights and setting boundaries around my time,” he said. “I also surrounded myself with a strong team who could carry the load when I needed to focus on writing or research.”
The lessons from Logan have become an integral part of FlightBridgeED’s operations. “Almost every part of the program shows up somewhere in my work,” Dr. Bauer said. “From how we build simulation programs, to how we train preceptors, to how we validate competencies and measure clinical reasoning, Logan provided the framework behind the scenes. It made our training more intentional, more measurable and ultimately more effective.”
Today, FlightBridgeED’s innovations include EmergeLMS, a learning management system, and EmergeCQI, a point-of-care
ultrasound quality assurance platform. Both tools close the loop between training, practice and clinical validation, making the company a leader in evidence-based, simulation-driven education.
Dr. Bauer’s mission is clear: to raise the standard of care in air medical transport. “When transport teams are better trained and more confident, outcomes improve; patients receive faster, safer and more precise interventions,” he said. “That ripple effect extends to hospitals, EMS agencies and entire regions.”
As flight paramedicine continues to evolve with expanded scopes of practice, advanced airway management and the growing use of precision medicine, Dr. Bauer remains focused on preparing providers for the future.
“Earning my Ed.D. gave me a deeper appreciation for the science behind how clinicians develop expertise,” he said. “It made me a more reflective leader—more intentional, more patient and more aware of the impact that well-designed training can have on a profession.”
FlightBridgeED continues to expand its educational platforms, simulation programs and partnerships across the country. Through innovation and education, Dr. Bauer and his team are shaping the next generation of flight medical professionals, one mission at a time.

From Classroom to Space Center: Meghan Johnson Completes Internship at NASA
Meghan Johnson, MS (’25) earned the internship opportunity of a lifetime: supporting health and fitness operations at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida. Last November and December, she worked within a campus-wide wellness system focused on human performance for the engineers, contractors and employees behind space launches.
“Being able to use what I learned through Logan University’s Master of Science in Sports Science & Rehabilitation (MSSSR) program and apply it in an environment like the KSC Fitness Center was an amazing experience,” Meghan said. She learned under the KSC Fitness Center’s wellness program coordinator and supervisor, assisting with blood pressure screenings, fitness orientations, cardiorespiratory and strength assessments, and group exercise programming. Performing safety and clinical screenings were central to her role, as participants are required to meet health benchmarks or receive medical clearance before exercising.
The internship closely mirrored the MSSSR program’s emphasis on applied exercise science and care for special populations.
“The experience was intensive and hands-on,” Meghan said. “I taught group exercise classes, led fitness assessments and worked one-on-one with participants new to structured exercise. A lot of people would come into the fitness center and say, ‘I don’t even know where to start.’ That’s where I could take what I learned at Logan—assessing baselines, prescribing safe exercise and meeting people where they are.”
Completing an internship supervised by a certified exercise physiologist is a key component of the MSSSR program.
“I located who would later be my site supervisor through the American College of Sports Medicine directory and reached out via a blind email,” Meghan said. “As luck would have it, they got back to me, and I knew it was a special opportunity I had to take.”
The placement also allowed Meghan to apply classroom concepts in unexpected ways. While touring NASA’s Vehicle Assembly Building, home to the Artemis II spacecraft, she found herself discussing the physiological effects of microgravity with engineers.
“We learned about microgravity in the MSSSR program and how it affects the body,” Meghan said. “Being able to connect that science to real missions in real conversations was incredibly rewarding.”
More than a decade in the health and

fitness industry led Meghan to Logan. She earned her bachelor’s degree in biomedical sciences and built a career focused on cardiac wellness, chronic disease management and pre- and postrehabilitation populations, often working within hospital-based fitness centers.
“I wanted more than personal training,” Meghan said. “I wanted the medical and scientific foundation to better serve people with complex health needs.”
That motivation inspired her to enroll in Logan’s MSSSR program, which was an ideal fit for her professional goals and the populations she serves. Now a proud Logan alumna, Meghan is applying her training in a new role as recreation and leisure services manager at a Florida resort community where she oversees wellness programming for older adults.
“It’s about helping people stay functional, active and engaged,” Meghan said. “Logan helped me connect science to real people, and that’s something I’ll carry forward in every role.”

Logan Celebrates Unveiling of Dr. Ronald G. Nowman Alumni Center
On May 1, 2025, Logan University proudly unveiled the Dr. Ronald G. Nowman Alumni Center thanks to a generous donation from Ronald Nowman, DC (‘58).
A longtime supporter of Logan and the chiropractic profession, Dr. Nowman made this transformational gift in honor of his mentor and role model, the late Vinton Logan, DC, Logan’s second president and son of founder Hugh B. Logan, DC.
At the heart of the center are bronze busts of Drs. Nowman and Vinton Logan, commemorating their legacy and impact on Logan and the field of chiropractic.
“This is an invigorating time for Logan,” Dr. Nowman said. “It’s about solidifying relationships and recognizing the history of this institution. I am honored to be a part of that.”

Honoring Dr. Joseph T. Lane Through an Enduring Scholarship for Chiropractic Students
For 41 years, Joseph T. Lane, DC (’83) didn’t just practice chiropractic. He lived it.
Dr. Lane’s career path wasn’t planned, but it was unforgettable. Years ago, while living in Springfield, Missouri, he and his wife Cindy were involved in a car accident. Cindy, whose father was a chiropractor, insisted they seek chiropractic care for whiplash.
“A couple weeks into care he said he knew this was his calling,” Cindy said.
Dr. Lane went on to graduate from Logan University, earning recognition as one of two students to receive an award for excellence in adjusting technique. In 1984, he opened his own practice: Back & Neck Care Center in Webster Groves, Missouri. The doors stayed open for decades, but what set Dr. Lane apart wasn’t longevity. It was how he showed up for his community.
He made house calls. He kept a portable adjusting table at home. Every May, he collected fans to give to people without air-conditioning. Each year, he organized coat drives for children and holiday food collections for families in need.
Dr. Lane was also deeply involved in the profession at every level—district, state and national. Whether serving in leadership roles or showing up as a member in several organizations, he believed in strengthening chiropractic from the inside out.
After Dr. Lane passed away in 2025, that belief inspired Cindy to establish the Dr. Joe Lane Annual Scholarship for Kind and Courageous Chiropractic. The scholarship, awarded annually to one Logan student, reflects the values Dr. Lane held dear and requires applicants to draft an essay about kindness in their practice.
“Kindness is universal,” she said. “If you have that as a chiropractor, that’s everything.”
Upon Cindy’s passing, the scholarship will become fully endowed, providing support to students in perpetuity as part of her trust. In addition, a bench bearing Dr. Lane’s and Cindy’s names will be placed along the lake on Logan’s campus.

New Partnership Brings Space-Born Laser Technology to Logan Health Centers
Technology that was originally developed to relieve pain in astronauts during space exploration has found its way to Logan University Health Centers, thanks to a new partnership with Multi Radiance Medical.
“Developed from a Space Age breakthrough more than five decades ago, our technology has been intentionally designed and refined for clinical use, specifically to support non-invasive applications such as chiropractic,” said Tom Kelly, global president of Multi Radiance.
Multi Radiance develops and manufactures state-ofthe-art laser technology that has been clinically proven to provide predictable and effective outcomes for conditions such as joint pain, arthritis and muscle stiffness. Around the world, practitioners use Multi Radiance’s therapy lasers to complement the treatments they provide to their patients.
Thanks to a partnership that began in 2006 between Max Kanarsky, founder and CEO of Multi Radiance and Arlan W. Fuhr, DC (’61), founder and chairman of Activator Methods International, chiropractors were some of the first healthcare professionals to use Multi Radiance’s lasers.
“Dr. Fuhr has been a mentor and good friend to Max over the years,” Tom said. “Their relationship has led to many talented chiropractors incorporating our technology into their practices as well as to Multi Radiance’s connection to Logan University.”
Multi Radiance recently gifted three lasers to Logan Health Centers, including the Alpha, MR5 ACTIV PRO, and PainAway Laser. John Bruno, AT Ret, Multi Radiance’s clinical director for sports medicine and rehab installed the technology at Logan’s Montgomery Health Center November 11, 2025.
“To give back to the communities that have helped make Multi Radiance successful, we have donated more than $1 million in equipment to chiropractic schools around the world and established scholarships at several U.S.-based chiropractic universities,” Tom said. “Now we are extremely proud to be a part of the Logan community.”
With its donation, Multi Radiance strives to expose Logan Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) students to a safe, drug-free, noninvasive treatment modality that complements adjustments.
“Many students don’t get to spend very much time learning about adjunct therapies or technologies that can enhance patient care,” Tom said. “We aim to give students access to the most advanced tools available to give them a leg up as they enter into practice.”
Multi Radiance’s partnerships with educational institutions like Logan go beyond equipment donations. The company has a clinical education team that provides hands-on training to practitioners as well as seminars, online resources and events. Multi Radiance also invests heavily in clinical studies. The company has published more than 64 peerreviewed articles, enabling it to optimize its technology, validate its methodology and create predictable and reproducible patient outcomes.
With a mutual commitment to research, education, clinical excellence and the future of patient care, Tom is looking forward to seeing Multi Radiance’s relationship with Logan develop.
“By partnering with a prestigious institution like Logan, we’re not only excited about providing our technology and expertise but also learning from and connecting with the university’s esteemed students and graduates,” Tom said.

Logan’s Anatomical Donor Program Connects
One Family Across Continents
Logan’s Anatomical Donor Program is built on trust, dignity and respect for those who choose to advance healthcare education by allowing students to study the science of the human body. For one family, that commitment extended across the globe to reunite a loved one with her family in South Korea.
After completing her role as an anatomical donor, Melissa Kim McLeaster’s cremated remains were returned to her nephew, Hui Chae Kim. With guidance and support from Logan’s anatomical donations team, Hui Chae personally escorted Melissa’s remains back home, where she was laid to rest with her family in traditional South Korean culture.
Julie Smith, who oversees Logan’s Anatomical Donor Program, said the experience was rare and deeply meaningful. This was the first time she had coordinated an international return of remains. “The care and determination of Melissa’s nephew stood out,” Julie said. “He went the distance to make sure she came home.”
Months later, Julie received an unexpected email from Hui Chae. Included were photos of Melissa’s burial ceremony in South Korea along with words of gratitude. “I truly appreciate the help provided by Logan to ensure that her remains came back home to us so we could bury her with her mother, father and grandparents,” Hui Chae wrote.

Logan’s Alumni Advisory Council Builds Connection, Collaboration, Community
The cornerstone of any academic institution is its graduates. They provide invaluable insights drawn from real-world experience, open doors for current students through mentorship and networking, and elevate the university’s reputation through their achievements and advocacy.
In this spirit of partnership and progress, Logan President H. Garrett Thompson, DC, PhD is committed to rebuilding a strong alumni-university relationship. This March, Logan officially launched the Alumni Advisory Council (AAC) to strengthen the relationship between the university and its alumni by serving as a vital bridge for communication, engagement and strategic input.
“The AAC was formed to ensure alumni remain an integral part of Logan’s story—past, present and future,” Dr. Thompson said. “By rekindling the spirit of collaboration and connection, the AAC supports the university’s continued growth, innovation and future success. In kind, Logan is committed to supporting the success of our graduates by any means necessary. We are stronger together.”
When Cynthia Sutton rejoined the university as director of alumni relations in 2022, she was charged with facilitating meaningful opportunities for all alumni across degree programs to come together and meaningfully engage with Logan.
“Logan
has such a devout alumni family, and we are excited to give them a bigger voice through the AAC.”
– Cynthia Sutton
“From previous positions at Logan, I knew what the university’s former alumni association looked like and how important it was to many of our graduates,” Cynthia said. “Through research I learned that numerous universities were switching to alumni advisory councils.”
According to Cynthia, Dr. Thompson becoming Logan’s president in 2025 catalyzed the creation of the AAC.
“One of the first things Dr. Thompson did was meet with alumni,” Cynthia said. “Over and over, they expressed a desire for more significant ways to champion Logan beyond making donations. At his request, I pulled out my research on alumni advisory councils, and we worked together to build one for Logan.”
Specifically, the AAC will:
• Serve as ambassadors: Actively promote Logan’s mission, events and priorities to fellow alumni, prospective students and the broader community.
• Provide feedback from the alumni perspective: Offer thoughtful insights to ensure university initiatives remain relevant, impactful and aligned with alumni expectations.
• Support philanthropy and fundraising efforts: Strengthen fundraising through advocacy, peer-to-peer outreach and personal involvement.
• Build alumni connections: Foster a strong and inclusive network for mentoring, career development and professional community.
• Support recruitment of the next generation of students: Recognize that students are the lifeline of the university and play a vital role in sustaining Logan’s mission, reputation and impact.
“Ultimately, the AAC plays a key role in fostering lifelong engagement between alumni and Logan, ensuring that our proud tradition of service and leadership continues across generations,” Dr. Thompson said.
To provide structure in its early stages, Logan recommended an initial leadership team consisting of eight members who represent a range of degree programs, graduating classes and states and have a strong affinity for Logan and commitment to service. Cynthia will serve as a liaison between the AAC and the university, coordinating logistics, communication and planning.
“Serving on the AAC gives alumni a direct voice in Logan’s future by building meaningful relationships with university leadership, shaping academic and program priorities, staying closely connected to new initiatives, and strengthening the alumni network, all while supporting students and advancing the mission of Logan University,” Cynthia said.
Cynthia Sutton
To advance its goals, the AAC has been charged to gather at least twice per year and will hold at least one inperson meeting. Each meeting will include a public forum open to all alumni and a closed voting session, which will be limited to AAC members and university leadership. The AAC’s inaugural meeting is scheduled for April 30 on Logan’s campus, which coincides with Symposium 2026 May 1-2. Alumni are invited to attend in person or stream online, but must RSVP in advance to Cynthia.Sutton@Logan.edu.
Symposium 2026 will also include class reunions as part of the Logan L!VE social event May 1. “We are thrilled to bring back this beloved tradition with the help of the AAC moving forward,” Cynthia said. “The AAC will help by pushing information out to their networks and encouraging alumni to get them excited about coming back to campus and reconnecting with their classmates.”
The Logan community can learn more about and contact the AAC via the university’s Alumni Hub, which can be accessed by scanning the QR code at right.
“Logan has such a devout alumni family, and we are excited to give them a bigger voice through the AAC,” Cynthia said.

Dr. Debra Hoffman Receives Spirit of Logan Distinguished Alumni Award
Logan University President H. Garrett Thompson, DC, PhD will present the 2026 Spirit of Logan Distinguished Alumni Award to Debra Hoffman, DC (’80) during Logan’s Symposium 2026, held May 1-2 on campus.
The Spirit of Logan Distinguished Alumni Award is the highest distinction bestowed upon an alumnus for making a significant, lasting impact on Logan. Winners are selected based on leadership, philanthropy, industry achievement and service.
After graduating from Logan in 1980, when opportunities for women in chiropractic were limited, Dr. Hoffman went on to spend more than four decades shaping and advancing the profession.
“We were kind of the first wave of women finding our feet and our voices,” she said.
Dr. Hoffman broke barriers by becoming the first woman to practice chiropractic in Hillsborough County, Florida, which encompasses Tampa and its surrounding areas. She found support among colleagues and built a respected practice she ran for 40 years.
“The decisions we make affect people’s lives, and I approached that responsibility with care, diplomacy and a sincere commitment to upholding the integrity of the profession.”
– Dr. Debra Hoffman
Dr. Hoffman’s influence soon extended beyond patient care. She became involved in numerous chiropractic industry organizations, serving as a delegate for the American Chiropractic Association (ACA), chairman of the Florida Board of Chiropractic Medicine and president of the Florida Chiropractic Association (FCA). In 2014, Dr. Hoffman was the inaugural recipient of the FCA Humanitarian Award, which honors chiropractic professionals for outstanding community service. She has also been recognized as FCA’s Chiropractor of the Year.
“Every role I held in service to the chiropractic profession mattered deeply to me,” Dr. Hoffman said. “The decisions we
make affect people’s lives, and I approached that responsibility with care, diplomacy and a sincere commitment to upholding the integrity of the profession.”
Dr. Hoffman spent 15 years advocating for chiropractic advancement in Washington, D.C. She met with Florida’s congressional delegation to support policy efforts related to Medicare, the United States Department of Veterans Affairs and broader professional recognition for chiropractors.
Her ties to Logan have remained strong throughout her career. Dr. Hoffman joined the university’s Board of Trustees in 2005 and served in many capacities, including advisor, vice chair and chair. As chair, Dr. Hoffman was committed to engaging Logan alumni and optimizing Board functions through leadership development and defining working committees. During her last year as a Board member in 2016, she was proud to participate in the presidential search committee.
For Dr. Hoffman, receiving the Spirit of Logan Distinguished Alumni Award is both humbling and meaningful.
“I get to stand on the shoulders of the giants who came before me,” she said. “It’s an opportunity to say, ‘thank you’ to Logan and to everyone who made my professional life possible.”
Even in semi-retirement, Dr. Hoffman continues to see patients once a week, which reflects the sense of duty and purpose that has defined her career.
“Chiropractic isn’t just what we do,” she said. “It becomes part of who we are.”

The 18th Annual Howe Oration Highlights Medical Importance of Compassion
The 18th Annual Joseph W. Howe Oration in Diagnostic Imaging drew an enthusiastic audience at Logan University, as students, faculty and healthcare professionals gathered to hear from one of the world’s foremost leaders in neuroimaging, Vitaly Napadow, PhD, LAc. A professor at Harvard Medical School and director of several innovative research programs at Massachusetts General Hospital, Dr. Napadow is a longtime friend of Logan and Norman W. Kettner, DC (’80), DACBR, FICC, dean of research and professor emeritus of Logan’s Department of Radiology.
Drs. Kettner and Napadow have worked together on research for nearly 25 years, which has resulted in more than 30 neuroscience publications. Logan and Massachusetts General Hospital have collaborated on several long-term research projects related to neuroscience.
“The Joseph W. Howe Oration in Diagnostic Imaging has, over the years, been delivered by a spectrum of highlevel experts, covering topics ranging from advances in diagnostic imaging and clinical research breakthroughs to cutting-edge clinical and therapeutic interventions,” Dr. Kettner said.
Dr. Napadow’s lecture was about brainto-brain hyperscanning—an increasingly utilized neuroimaging technique that captures the synchronized brain activity between two people engaged in a shared experience. His research focuses on therapeutic alliance, which is the ongoing bond built between a patient and practitioner. Ultimately, a series of hyperscans has revealed how trust, compassion and empathy between clinicians and patients can be tangibly recorded as real neuroactivity.
“In this lecture, Dr. Napadow revealed the new horizon for understanding and implementing biopsychosocial principles,” Dr. Kettner said. “This was achieved by utilizing brain interconnectivity to guide patient clinical outcomes and augmenting the doctor-patient therapeutic alliance.”
Having concrete evidence that compassion is not just abstractly “good” but medically beneficial may change the way that patients are treated. Dr. Napadow explained that better communication skills—and better therapeutic alliance—create a variety of positive outcomes, including increased efficacy of treatment, better management of chronic pain, decreased burnout among
practitioners and even a decrease in the need for pharmacological intervention.
The lecture further explored some interesting connections between therapeutic alliance and other important psychological concepts, such as social mirroring and theory of mind. Through multiple experiments, Dr. Napadow and his team were able to continue demonstrating better outcomes for patients receiving therapeutically aligned treatments. In the end, the dimensions most improved included pain catastrophizing, mood and adherence to treatment.
In a world where it seems like artificial intelligence is taking over just about everything, Dr. Napadow’s research shows the importance of human connection. Compassion should remain at the core of everything healthcare professionals do, and now there is statistically significant evidence to prove it.

From Marketing to Chiropractic: Finding Purpose in a Second Career
After more than two decades in marketing, Samantha Coble, a trimester 2 Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) student decided it was time for a change. The former corporate executive spent 23 years at American National managing multi-million-dollar marketing budgets, leading the adoption of new social media platforms and overseeing a department that grew from one person to 30.
“The company grew, and I grew with it,” Samantha said. “But after a while, I realized I wasn’t growing in the ways that mattered most. It was time to do something different.”
That “something different” turned out to be chiropractic school. Now, Samantha is pursuing a second career focused on health and healing.
Her interest in wellness is deeply personal. Over the years, she has researched health issues affecting her family, including her mother’s neurological condition. She also manages her own rare allergy, alpha-gal syndrome, which makes her severely allergic to mammal products.
“I joke that if it doesn’t swim or fly, I can’t eat it,” she said. “But it’s also what got me thinking more seriously about our bodies and how chiropractic care treats the person, not just the symptoms.”
Samantha’s husband and college-age children enthusiastically supported her decision to enroll at Logan. The couple relocated from Springfield, Missouri, to Chesterfield, Missouri, to accommodate her studies while managing their family business, Freedom Boat Club, which operates out of marinas across the state.
“I
might as well spend the rest of my time doing something interesting that excites me. I love a challenge, and Logan is offering me that now.”
– Samantha Coble
Returning to school after a long career has been both humbling and rewarding. Unlike many of her classmates who came to Logan with recent science-based undergraduate degrees, Samantha tackles core subjects with fresh eyes, often studying 10 to 12 hours a day.
“I spend a lot of time relearning the fundamentals, which for many of my
classmates is a simple review,” Samantha said. “But I think my maturity gives me an advantage in reasoning and seeing the big picture, which will help me with clinical methodology, diagnosis and hands-on work with patients.”
Though she initially worried about fitting in as a 50-year-old student, Samantha quickly found her place. She jokes that she brings a “mom vibe” to campus, in part because her own children are close in age to many of her classmates, and students approach her with questions they are not comfortable asking their peers. She is also a student worker in Logan’s Continuing Education Department, a role that has helped her connect with experienced colleagues and settle into student life again.
Looking ahead, Samantha envisions opening her own practice and has considered whether her brother’s military service might spark an interest in working with veterans.
“The businessperson in me is already thinking about specializing,” she said.
“Will I gravitate toward women’s health? Pediatrics? I don’t know yet. Right now, I’m focused on memorizing anatomy.”
Now she feels fully at home at Logan, supported by both second-career and traditional students.
“Being 50 is the middle of the road in life,” Samantha said. “I might as well spend the rest of my time doing something interesting that excites me. I love a challenge, and Logan is offering me that now.”

Alyssa Wheel Mixes Chiropractic Studies with Passion for Baking
For Alyssa Wheel, a trimester 9 Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) student, whipping up a batch of cookies offers a break from her studies. Baking has become her favorite form of stress relief while navigating Logan University’s DC program.
“I’ve always enjoyed baking,” Alyssa said. “It’s something I did all the time growing up.”
Originally from Vermont, Alyssa’s parents inspired her to start baking. She often baked for her favorite taste tester, her dad, while growing up. Alyssa spent nearly a decade in Florida and Colorado working as a medical assistant before discovering chiropractic care while employed at an ophthalmology office.
“Our health insurance covered chiropractic care, so I started seeing a chiropractor, and I was like, ‘Wow, this is amazing,’” Alyssa said. “I just found so much relief from it.”
The experience inspired her to pursue formal training, building on her undergraduate degree in wellness and alternative medicine. She appreciates that chiropractic care treats patients naturally.
“The body is designed to heal itself, and as chiropractors, we’re just a part of that process,” Alyssa said. “It really empowers patients to take their health into their own hands.”
After deciding to enroll in Logan’s DC program, Alyssa immersed herself in its rigorous curriculum. During trimester 3, she decided to pull out her old recipe cards and returned to the kitchen, trading common downtime activities like streaming TV shows for kneading dough and frosting cupcakes.
With encouragement from classmates, Alyssa began selling her creations. She sets up a table about once a month at the Fuhr Science Center on Logan’s campus and takes orders through her website. She calls her small side business Sweet Alignment.
“It’s not something that’s supporting me financially through school,” she said. “I usually just break even.”
Alyssa bakes nearly every week, spending about five to seven hours in the kitchen after classes and clinic hours. Her offerings include brownies, cinnamon rolls, sourdough bread and custom cakes, including wedding cakes. Cookies, however, remain her top sellers.
“The strawberry ones are the most popular,” Alyssa said. “They have my homemade strawberry jam, white chocolate chips and freeze-dried strawberries.”
She sees clear parallels between baking and chiropractic care.
“There’s an opportunity for critical thinking and reasoning,” she said. “If
something doesn’t go exactly as planned, like I forgot to add sugar, there’s a way to problem solve and turn it into something else. Chiropractic is the same way.”
This spring, Alyssa began her preceptorship at St. Louis Sports Medicine. As she looks ahead, she remains open to where her career may lead.
“My goal is to take care of whomever needs me,” she said. “Wherever I end up is where I am meant to be.”
Baking will likely continue alongside her chiropractic work, if only as a personal passion.
“It’s helped keep me away from things that add stress over time,” Alyssa said. “I get to play in the kitchen, relax and have fun.”

Dr. Cindy Howard: 2026 Dr. Beatrice B. Hagen Award Recipient
In recognition of her exemplary commitment to advancing chiropractic care and education, Cindy Howard, DC, DABCI, DACBN, FIAMA, FICC will receive the Dr. Beatrice B. Hagen Award during Logan University’s Symposium 2026 May 1-2.
Dr. Howard’s connection with Logan began when she attended her first of many Symposiums in 2019, and her involvement continued to grow from there. She has been a regular speaker at Logan events such as the Women’s Health Symposium and Logan’s annual Symposium and counts many Logan alumni among her closest personal and professional friends.
“This award was very unexpected,” said Dr. Howard. “It’s a reminder that what I do every day matters and that I have friends and peers who took note that I make a difference in others’ lives.”
Dr. Howard earned her Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree from National University of Health Sciences in 1998. In 2000, she founded Innovative Health & Wellness Center in Orland Park, Illinois, where she focuses on treating the root cause of disease with functional medicine, chiropractic and acupuncture. For more than two decades, she also has represented Illinois through various roles with the American Chiropractic Association (ACA), including as a delegate. She is currently
“I am always looking for ways to promote the benefits of chiropractic care, and I want to stay in clinical practice forever doing what I love.”
– Dr. Cindy Howard
Dr. Cindy Howard
vice president of the ACA College of Pharmacology and Toxicology, a past president of the ACA Council on Diagnosis and Internal Disorders, and recipient of the ACA’s Flynn-Lynch Award. She also was honored as Chiropractor of the Year by the Illinois Chiropractic Society.
“My mission is to help people and organizations find strength, joy and wellbeing in the middle of challenge—not after it’s over—because healing and happiness are choices we can make every single day,” Dr. Howard said.
In 2013, Dr. Howard noticed a swollen lymph node on her neck. She diagnosed and co-managed her care for stage 2 Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Based on her years of experience, she was intent on a treatment approach that combined chemotherapy with personalized, evidence-based integrative strategies. Dr. Howard underwent six
months of chemotherapy at the Block Center for Integrative Cancer Treatment in Skokie, Illinois, along with a supplement regimen and chiropractic care. Now cancerfree, she stresses how much the experience changed her perspective.
“It helps me empathize better,” Dr. Howard said. “I don’t know exactly what another individual is going through, but I can honor their experience.”
Dr. Howard’s battle with cancer was the inspiration behind her book, “Positively Altered: Finding Happiness at the Bottom of a Chemo Bag.”
“It’s about finding the fun and the gifts in every single day, even the very hard ones,” Dr. Howard said.
The book’s success has led to numerous national speaking engagements. Combined with running her private practice and a consulting business, teaching for the DABCI diplomate certification, and serving on the medical advisory board for Fullscript Functional Medicine University and Inguardia Health, Dr. Howard’s schedule is packed, which is how she likes it.
“I don’t have any plans to slow down,” she said. “I am always looking for ways to promote the benefits of chiropractic care, and I want to stay in clinical practice forever doing what I love.”
Following the presentation of the Dr. Beatrice B. Hagen Award during Logan’s Symposium 2026, Dr. Howard will deliver a presentation titled, “SHIFT. Elevating Practice Through Intentional Change.” You can register for Symposium 2026 by scanning the QR code at right.
Mountains and Cruises and Continuing Education, Oh My!
Education and growth defined the fall 2025 Logan On Location continuing education program in St. George, Utah. Surrounded by Snow Canyon State Park, attendees from around the country enjoyed morning hikes in the canyons and afternoons filled with walking lectures, hands-on experiences and outdoor excursions.
“The Utah retreat was intentionally designed to allow participants to slow down, rejuvenate and relax. We worked to create a learning environment that provided wellness-focused education and supported both personal wellbeing and professional growth,” said Amber Henry, MEd, EdS, Ed.D., PMP, Logan’s director of continuing education. “The enthusiasm and feedback from the 2025 events shaped how we think
about future offerings, and we look forward to continuing our support of chiropractors through innovative, experience-based education.”
The program, held in collaboration with Northwestern Health Sciences University, emphasized the importance of hands-on learning, healing and reconnecting with nature. Speakers included Cindy M. Howard, DC, DABCI, DACBN, FIAMA, FICC; Kristine Tohtz, DC, LAc, DABCA,
DABCP, Cert.MDT, CACCP, IFMCP; and Eric Smith, DC (’12).
“The experience was a home run,” said Stephen C. Marini, DC, PhD, member of Logan’s Board of Trustees. “The desert, canyons, hikes and isolation were perfect for reconnecting, while the sessions focused on physical needs of the body, how to embrace the labyrinth of life and nutritional approaches to vibrant health.”
The next Logan on Location destination continuing education experience will soon set sail on an Alaskan Cruise. From May 29 to June 5, 2026, learn from three distinguished speakers—Evan Gwilliam, DC, MBA, CPC, CCPC, CPMA, CPCO; Jason G. Napuli, DC, MBA; and Kristina L. Petrocco-Napuli, DC, MS, DHPE (’23), FICC, FACC—while experiencing Alaska’s natural beauty.
Departing from Seattle, the Celebrity Edge will cruise through Ketchikan; Endicott Arm and Dawes Glacier; Juneau; Skagway; and Victoria, British Columbia. Seminars will be held while the ship is at sea, giving attendees the best of both worlds: education and exploration.
SAVE THE DATE
Save the date for the next Logan on Location experience: an Eastern Caribbean cruise June 12-19, 2027! Aboard Royal Caribbean’s Harmony of the Seas, attendees will set sail from Port Canaveral in Orlando, Florida, and enjoy stops in CocoCay, Charlotte Amalie and Philipsburg.

FICS Membership No Longer Requires US Chiropractors to
Join ACASC
The Federation of Sports Chiropractic/ Fédération Internationale de Chiropratique du Sport (FICS) is excited to announce that chiropractors in the United States can join FICS directly through the North and Central America and Caribbean Regional Chiropractic Sports Council (RCSC), opening doors to global engagement and professional development. Previously, FICS membership required joining the American Chiropractic Association Sports Council (ACASC). Chiropractors in the U.S. can now join FICS directly and enjoy full RCSC benefits.

WFC Plans 13th Global Education Conference
FICS membership provides opportunities to apply for high-profile
sporting events, including multisport and Olympic sports federations events, where FICS places sports chiropractic teams to support athletes and volunteers. Doctors must hold the International Chiropractic Sports Council (ICSC) certification to work at international events with FICS. Members in the U.S. holding a CCSP, DACSBP or other master’s degree can apply for advanced standing. There is an upcoming ICSC seminar in Miami in June 2026.

Joining FICS has enhanced professional expertise, expanded networks and offered global opportunities for chiropractors such as Renee Bowen, DC, CCSP, ICSC.
“The 2022 World Games was a career highlight,” Dr. Bowen said. “Collaborating with elite athletes and fellow chiropractors exceeded all expectations and even created exciting new referral opportunities. The teamwork and dedication to topquality care made it unforgettable.”
The World Federation of Chiropractic (WFC) represents 95 countries from seven regions around the world. Its vision is “a world where all people, of all ages, in all nations have access to evidence-based, people-centered, interprofessional and collaborative chiropractic services so that populations can thrive and reach their full potential.” This is the driving force behind what the WFC does.
From October 14-17, the WFC will host the 13th WFC Global Education Conference in Utrecht, the Netherlands. The theme is “Lifelong Learning: Advancing Chiropractic Education for the Future.” The event will feature top academics and researchers from around the world.

Dear Alumni, Friends & Supporters:
As we reflect on the year spanning August 2024 to September 2025, we are filled with deep gratitude for the community that continues to sustain and strengthen Logan University. This was a milestone year that honored our past while boldly shaping our future.
In 2025, Logan celebrated its 90th anniversary, marking nine decades of educating healthcare leaders, advancing chiropractic and health sciences, and serving communities around the world. This anniversary was a testament to the vision, resilience and generosity that have defined Logan since its founding in 1935. It also reminded us that every chapter of Logan’s story has been written with the support of people like you who believe in our mission.
This year also ushered in a new era with the inauguration of Logan’s eighth president, H. Garrett Thompson, DC, PhD. His leadership signals continued momentum and a shared commitment to academic excellence, innovation and patient care. With this transition, Logan is well positioned to build on its strong foundation and pursue new opportunities that will shape the next generation of healthcare professionals.
This annual report proves that none of this progress would be possible without you. It highlights individuals and organizations that made gifts of all sizes. Your generosity fuels student scholarships, strengthens academic programs, enhances facilities and expands access to care through Logan’s Health Centers. Those who gave their time and talents by serving as preceptors and referring new students to Logan are also recognized. Your engagement and advocacy reinforce the sense of community that makes Logan exceptional.
In these pages, you’ll also hear from students about the impact scholarships have made on their education and donors who are committed to ensuring Logan remains a leader in chiropractic and health sciences education.
On behalf of the entire Logan University community, thank you for your continued partnership. We are honored to steward your support and inspired by what we will accomplish together in the years ahead.

Student Scholarship: Morgan Cochran and Dr. AnnElise Hardy
Morgan Cochran, a trimester 9 Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) student at Logan University, is a grateful recipient of both the Beatrice B. Hagen, DC Scholarship and the Scharnhorst Scholarship.
“Earning these scholarships is such an honor and truly appreciated, particularly because of the peace of mind it provides and how it enables me to focus on school and serving patients in the clinic,” Morgan said.
Morgan’s road to chiropractic was not linear. After earning her bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Missouri, she worked in marketing and operations for six years but reevaluated her career path during the COVID19 pandemic. She enrolled at Logan, where she originally planned to get a master’s degree in nutrition. After one trimester, she decided to earn her DC degree instead and follow in the footsteps of her mother, who has been a chiropractor in the St. Louis area for 40 years.
“Faith is a big part of my life, and I felt led to chiropractic,” Morgan said. “I love the opportunity it gives me to bring hope to patients, particularly those who may have lost theirs.”
Following graduation this fall, Morgan plans to practice in Webster Groves, Missouri. She also may work part time with her mother. In the long run, Morgan hopes to own a practice and put her years of marketing experience to use building it.
“Because of my mom, chiropractic has always been a part of my life,” Morgan said. “I am proud to be joining the profession she loves and following along the same path to encourage optimal wellness.”
Earning the Founders Scholarship in 2023 and the Gail K. Flotre Annual Scholarship in 2025 gave AnnElise Hardy, DC (’25), MS (’25) the opportunity to focus on her studies and volunteering.
“Instead of working another job to help pay for my education, I was able to spend more time perfecting my technique as a chiropractor as well as tutoring and giving back,” Dr. AnnElise said.
She tutored local elementary and high school students and was a judge for science fairs. “Whenever a chance came up, I had the freedom to help out,” Dr. AnnElise said.
She plans to continue serving her community by teaming up with her sister, Mikayla Hardy, DC (’25), MS (’25) to open a chiropractic practice in Chesterfield, Missouri, during the first quarter of this year. Dr. AnnElise’s Master of Science in Nutrition & Human Performance (MSNHP) degree and Dr. Mikayla’s Master of Science in Sports Science and Rehabilitation (MSSSR) degree will enable them to treat a wider variety of patients and conditions.
“We are very excited to open Hardy and Hardy Chiropractic soon,” Dr. AnnElise said. “Our focus will be on family wellness and youth athletics. We will also offer nutrition counseling and acupuncture.”
In addition to making her experience as a student more meaningful, her scholarships also helped her build a strong foundation for her postgraduate plans.
“I am very grateful for the scholarships I received,” Dr. AnnElise said. “They are part of the reason we have the ability to open our own practice right after graduation.”

Donor Spotlight: Dr. Joseph Unger
The decision to make a bequest to Logan University was easy for College of Chiropractic alumnus Joseph Unger, DC (’79), FICS.
“It’s a good thing to do,” Dr. Unger said. “Logan has given me the career I have and the ability to help people, so I hope to help maintain it as best as possible in the future.”
He originally studied to be a surgeon but grew frustrated with medicine’s focus on treating symptoms rather than addressing the cause of health and healing. Dr. Unger began “self-studying,” which introduced him to a technique he had never encountered: acupuncture.
“I had no idea you could treat pain in that way, and after researching more in a health food bookstore—because that’s the only place I could find this sort of information at the time—I learned about chiropractic and saw many clear similarities,” he said. “That’s when I discovered Logan and knew it was the place I could explore these approaches to care.”
amazing,” Dr. Unger said. “John Gutweiler, PhD was a brilliant chemistry teacher, too. I made my bequest to Logan in his name.”
A bequest is a gift in a will or trust that specifies a gift be made to family, friends or an organization such as Logan as part of an estate plan. The benefits of making a bequest to Logan include leaving an enduring legacy, lessening the burden of taxes for family and the potential to receive estate tax savings.
Dr. Unger describes his time as a Logan student as formative. He began to witness what he describes as “miraculous occurrences with chiropractic care compared to the results of medical procedures.”
“The things Dale C. Montgomery, DC (’46) did in class were
Dr. Unger has built a distinguished career marked by teaching, research and global engagement. He began teaching Sacro Occipital Technic® (SOT™) at Logan in 1984 and continues to teach the course today. He has been deeply involved with the Sacro Occipital Research Society International, Inc. (SORSI), serving as past president and chair of its research committee. Over the years, he has also presented original research and lectured at major events, including the World Federation of Chiropractic, Association of Chiropractic Colleges Educational Conference and Research Agenda Conference, chiropractic centennial celebrations and Logan’s Symposium.
“I’m proud of Logan and grateful for the education I received there, so I am happy to support it how I can,” he said.
HOW CAN YOU MAKE A BEQUEST TO LOGAN?
A bequest is one of the easiest gifts to make. With the help of an advisor, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift be made to Logan University as part of your estate plan. This can be done in several ways:
• Gift a specific dollar amount or asset.
• Gift a percentage of your estate.
• Gift from the remaining or residual balance of your estate.
• Make a beneficiary designation of certain assets.

Donor Spotlight: Cobb Community Foundation
Logan University took a significant step in its commitment to student wellness by making improvements to the William M. Harris, DC Sports & Wellness Center on campus.
The project was made possible through Logan Day of Giving donors as well as a partnership with the Cobb Community Foundation, which now holds the Dr. William M. Harris Fund for Chiropractic Advancement. According to Cobb Community Foundation Director of Programs Lisa-Ruth Karnes, the foundation’s involvement stems from long-standing support from the William M. Harris Family Foundation for the chiropractic profession and Logan in particular.
“The William M. Harris Family Foundation had been very supportive of the chiropractic community, including Logan University, for many, many years,” Lisa-Ruth said.
Last year marked a pivotal transition, as the William M. Harris Family Foundation formally transformed into a donor-advised fund housed within the Cobb Community Foundation. That shift also launched the fund’s inaugural grant cycle, opening the door for Logan to apply for support aligned with the fund’s mission.
The grant Logan earned helped revitalize the wellness center and its offerings. Constructed in 1999, the free-standing, 3,075-square-foot facility has remained in continuous operation for 27 years. In 2024 alone, the center recorded more than 7,000 student visits, reflecting consistent demand.
Completed in February, upgrades that modernized both the look and function of the wellness center included:
• New gym-grade flooring designed to reduce joint stress, improve performance and enhance safety.
• Reconfigured interior space with removed stub walls, relocated electrical outlets and a redesigned check-in desk to maximize usable area.
• An expanded staff office and improved storage layout.
• Updated wall treatments, including accent walls, Logan branding and a partner recognition wall honoring the William M. Harris Family Foundation and other supporters.
• New and upgraded equipment, including replacement treadmills, an additional StairMaster and three new strength machines selected directly in response to student feedback.
For Cobb Community Foundation, the project reflects a broader commitment to advancing health and wellness through strategic philanthropy, especially when those investments meet the philanthropic objectives of their donors and directly impact future healthcare leaders. The collaboration underscores how donor intent, institutional vision and community benefit can align to create meaningful, long-term improvements.
