With the dawn of a new presidency, all eyes shift to the escalating health care crisis in America. Many look to the new administration as a beacon of hope for a solution, while others already know the solution has come. In fact, it has been around for more than one hundred years. That solution is chiropractic. Nowhere was that sentiment more evident and alive than at the 2009 Las Vegas Parker Seminars, where more than 3,000 chiropractors gathered to expand their knowledge on this healing art and reignite their passion for serving others through quality health care.

The Center for Academics at Parker College of Chiropractic organized the 12th Annual Food Drive in conjunction with the North Texas Food Bank (NTFB). Parker College participates in the annual food drive as a way to show their support for the surrounding communities. “Parker College has such a great history of donating large amounts because of the generosity and service mentality,” said Dr. Fabrizio Mancini, president of Parker College of Chiropractic.

After spending more than 30 years as a Parker Seminars attendee, Dr. Gilles Lamarche is now on the other side, having recently accepted the position of Vice President of Seminars and Development at Parker College of Chiropractic. Dr. Lamarche will oversee Parker Seminars, Community and Donor Relations, Parker SHARE Products, and the Office of Alumni Relations.

Not many chiropractic conferences or seminars seem to take place during the month of July, as it is primarily a time for family and summer fun. The months of August and September feature several big seminars and conferences taking place throughout the United States. Locations like Dallas, New Jersey, Arizona, and California will all be host to events focused on chiropractic fellowship and education.
