Here are a few July and August chiropractic event updates for Los Angeles California, Oakland California, and Marietta Georgia. All of these notifications came via my e-mail. Personally, I find it’s important to hang out with other chiropractors regularly, as it keeps me reminded that I’m not in this by myself. There are local events (like CORE Pasadena and DCS Orange County), and large events (like The Wave and Dynamic Essentials), and I do my best to attend both kinds. By the way, the CCA conference in Reno this past June, was terrific.

Parker leaders, Dr. Fabrizio Mancini, president of Parker College of Chiropractic, and Dr. Gilles Lamarche, vice president of Parker Seminars traveled to Haiti where they served the people in the earthquake devastated country. Demonstrating Parker’s dedication in spreading chiropractic worldwide, the two provided much needed care for the people in the destitute country.

The Alumni Association of Life Chiropractic College West named Rachae Bell, a third quarter junior from Davenport, Washington as its 2010 Student of the Year. During the annual gala dinner and dance on October 23, Bell was honored for her exceptional contributions to Life West and the chiropractic profession.

Kim Khauv, a doctor of chiropractic and faculty member and alumnus from Life Chiropractic College West, led a team of twelve college interns who traveled to rural parts of Cambodia to provide chiropractic care. Over the course of two weeks in December 2009 they provided care to over 1500 patients, many of whom where children in orphanages and the sick and elderly in local villages.
