2023-2024 Annual Report of Giving

from PRESIDENT H. GARRETT THOMPSON

It is fortuitous that this issue of The Tower is being published just as I am assuming my role as the eighth president of Logan University. As you peruse these pages, you will undoubtedly recognize, as I do, what an exciting time it is to be at Logan. The university has impressive student, faculty, staff, and alumni achievements to celebrate. Each of us owes many thanks to Dr. Clay McDonald for his dedicated leadership and unwavering vision—for he has laid a strong foundation for all of us to build upon.

Under the leadership of Dr. McDonald, Logan University has significantly increased degree program offerings and orchestrated numerous facility improvements, including the Fuhr Science Center and the Carter | Eberline Administration Building featured on the cover of this magazine. Because of the tireless efforts of Dr. McDonald and many of you, our university is positioned for an enduring and bright future. The

2024 Annual Report of Giving beginning on page 35 is a tribute to the generosity of all our donors, partners and other friends who have contributed to Logan’s success this past year. Be sure to turn to page 4 for a timeline of Dr. McDonald’s remarkable achievements over the last 12 years.

Now, Logan is well positioned for its next chapter—one that will be characterized as proactive, energetic and expansive. We have an incredible opportunity to bring the Logan brand of healthcare education to many new students in the United States and around the world, ultimately graduating healthcare professionals who will transform the health of their communities for generations to come.

I am eager to meet all of you at Logan’s Symposium 2025, which will be held May 1-3 on our beautiful campus. The Symposium 2025 insert inside this issue includes everything you need: information on how to register, the schedule of continuing education topics and speakers, social events, as well as opportunities for networking. Of particular note, I invite you all to the presidential investiture ceremony taking place at 10:30 a.m. Friday, May 2 at the William D. Purser, DC Center on

Logan’s campus. I am pleased to invite everyone to gather and celebrate this pivotal moment for our university.

In the meantime, I will be getting better acquainted with Logan’s vibrant campus community. Expect to see me out and about visiting classes, enjoying lunch in the Logan Café, reading in the library or improving my game on Logan’s disc golf course. When you see me, please do not hesitate to say hello. I look forward to engaging with you all to hear your perspectives, ideas and aspirations for Logan.

My promise is to bring my experience as a strategic decision maker and commitment to transparency and accountability to ensure Logan University cultivates a global reputation for excellence in all that we do.

Sincerely,

H. Garrett Thompson, DC, PhD, President

BROCK MARTIN, DC (’10) and KRISTA MARTIN, DC (’10) were named Tennessee Chiropractic Association (TCA) Conference Honorees at the 2024 Southern Chiropractic Conference. At the same event, ADAM COPESKEY, DC (’17) earned the Rising Chiropractor of the Year award.

As the youngest recipients in the history of the honor, the Martins credit their success to the relationships they have built. They met on their first day at Logan, a connection that blossomed into marriage and a shared dream. In 2012 they opened Southern Chiropractic and Acupuncture in Huntingdon, Tennessee, offering patientcentered care rooted in hospitality.

“Logan gave us the tools to succeed, from diverse clinical techniques to certifications in acupuncture and soft tissue therapies,” Dr. Brock said. “This gave us the confidence to start our practice immediately after graduation.”

Dr. Brock has emerged as a leader in both chiropractic and public service.

He served as TCA president starting in 2020 and was named Statesman of the Year by U.S. Rep. David Kustoff in 2021. In 2022 he made history as the first chiropractor in 40 years elected to the Tennessee General Assembly.

As his responsibilities have expanded, Dr. Krista has taken on additional roles managing their practice and home. “Our team has been incredible in adapting to change,” Dr. Krista said. “We couldn’t balance work and family without them.”

For Dr. Copeskey, earning the Rising Chiropractor of the Year award is a tribute to the people who have supported him throughout his journey.

“This award might have my name on it, but it reflects the incredible team I work with every day,” Dr. Copeskey said. “I couldn’t have done this without them.”

Since graduating from Logan, Dr. Copeskey has spent seven years as a clinical physician at Advanced Rehab and Medical, P.C. in Jackson, Tennessee, where he focuses on improving his patients’ quality of life.

“There’s nothing more rewarding than helping patients discover how chiropractic care can change their lives,” he said.

An active member of the TCA, Dr. Copeskey continues to learn from peers and mentors while giving back to the profession. “TCA has been instrumental in my growth,” he said. “It inspires me to keep pushing forward.”

NEERASHA RAMSAMY, M.TECH. (CHIRO) will receive Logan’s 2024 Master of Science in Chiropractic Pediatrics (MSCP) full-tuition scholarship, which is made possible by Logan and the World Federation of Chiropractic, for her support of and mission to serve communities in Africa through chiropractic care.

“I’m thrilled to begin Logan’s MSCP program in January 2026,” Dr. Ramsamy said. “After I complete the program, I hope to teach chiropractors in African countries like Kenya, Botswana and Uganda new concepts, ultimately bringing quality, affordable pediatric and chiropractic care to impoverished regions.”

Growing up in Johannesburg, South Africa, and losing her dad as a 10-yearold, Dr. Ramsamy developed an interest in health and wellness and its role in the family unit. She earned a Master of Health Sciences in Chiropractic from the University of Johannesburg in 2017 and certifications in craniosacral and visceral chiropractic care after graduation. Working with her mentor and Logan MSCP program faculty member Mike Marinus, DC, MSCPAEDS,

Drs. Brock Martin and Krista Martin

she fell in love with pediatric chiropractic care and opened a practice called Thrive Family Wellness.

“Besides my practice, I enjoy using my knowledge and skills to teach and support communities,” Dr. Ramsamy said. “Pediatric chiropractic care is not well established in South Africa, and there’s always a need for qualified chiropractors, so furthering my education was the goal.”

Fully online with an annual in-person review of manual therapy techniques on Logan’s campus, the MSCP program fits into Dr. Ramsamy’s busy schedule. In the meantime, she will continue giving back in every way she can.

“One of my efforts right now is providing pro bono chiropractic care to children in local orphanages, using this as a platform to teach students from my alma mater,” Dr. Ramsamy said. “It’s important to support your communities without expecting something in return.”

HERB CALDWELL, Ed.D., Logan University’s chief of compliance and engagement, produced and directed a documentary called “My Mama Joe: Hope & Help.” The documentary tells the story of Dr. Caldwell’s mother, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, and his family’s experience caring for her. Logan faculty and staff attended a campus screening during Alzheimer’s Awareness Month on November 19, 2024.

“I’ve always been creative but mostly kept that part of my life separate from my duties as an education professional,” Dr. Caldwell said. “However, this project fits squarely with the spirit of a whole health university and can be easily integrated with Logan’s institutional strategies and mission. It was nice to have colleagues attend the screening and discuss how this tool can be used to prepare our students and promote our programs for community outreach.”

Raising nine kids and opening her home to those in need, Dr. Caldwell’s mother JoeAnna—known as “Mama Joe”—was a community champion whose years of service positively impacted thousands.

After she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2015, Dr. Caldwell felt a “divine tap” to launch the Mama Joe Project in her honor.

He traveled to 15 states and conducted interviews with experts in healthcare, education, research, financial services, senior living and other industries, which he wove into the documentary. They provided insight into the different types of dementia, healthy aging, and health and caregiving disparities among older adults. In addition to the film, Dr. Caldwell developed a workbook with supplemental information such as proactive measures that can be taken to reduce the risk of dementia and resources for caregivers.

“I tied in the experts’ evidence-based best practices with my family’s experience and mother’s journey to tell the story from the perspective of the people most impacted,” Dr. Caldwell said. “We made the workbook condensed and easy to read because many caregivers need resources and support but don’t have time to read through hundreds of websites.”

The film is being scheduled as part of community outreach in 23 states and has become widely available across the country on public media and select stations with the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) airing in February 2025.

“Ultimately, our goal is to raise awareness and highlight resources so that individuals and families can be better positioned for an improved quality of life,” Dr. Caldwell said.

Logan University Celebrates 90 Years of Excellence

Logan University is proud to celebrate 90 years of excellence in education, innovation and healthcare leadership this year.

“As we celebrate Logan’s 90th anniversary, we reflect on the extraordinary impact this institution has made in the advancement of chiropractic and health sciences education,” said former Logan President Clay McDonald, DC (’82), MBA, JD. “It was a privilege to serve as president of this prestigious institution for the last 12 years.”

Named for its founder and first president Hugh B. Logan, DC, the university opened its doors in 1935 under the name Logan Basic College of Chiropractic. With just seven men and women in its first graduating class, Logan currently has more than 1,700 students enrolled between its 11 diverse undergraduate, master’s and doctoral programs.

“Logan has become a beacon of education and healthcare over the past nine decades,” said Logan Board of Trustees Chair Donald Altman, DDS, DHSc, Ed.D. “As we honor its legacy, we also look to the future with excitement as we continue to advance innovative programs and transformative education that will empower the next generation of healthcare leaders.”

While remaining rooted in chiropractic education, Logan began enriching its academic options with degree offerings in health sciences in 2006, including strength and conditioning, health informatics, nutrition and more. The latest program, the Master of Science in Chiropractic Pediatrics (MSCP), began in 2022 and celebrated its first class of graduates this

past fall. In 2026, Logan will launch its Master of Science in Physician Assistant/ Physician Associate (PA) program, which is a testament to the university’s commitment to becoming a premier whole health university.

“Logan is proud to expand its College of Health Sciences degree offerings with the PA program, exhibiting leadership in integrated healthcare education,” Dr. McDonald said. “Our PA program will be unique due to its emphasis on interprofessional and integrative healthcare.”

Logan’s 90th anniversary celebration is even more meaningful with the inauguration

of H. Garrett Thompson, DC, PhD as the university’s eighth president. Dr. Thompson brings more than 20 years of experience in academic leadership and administration to his new position and has been recognized as a “Top 100 Leader in Education.”

“I am deeply honored to step into the role of president during such a significant time in

Logan’s history,” Dr. Thompson said. “This milestone is a testament to Logan’s legacy of excellence in education, research and patient care. I look forward to building on nine decades of success and working with our outstanding students, faculty, staff and alumni to continue advancing our position as the leading chiropractic and health sciences institution.”

Logan Teams Up with St. Louis Ambush to Provide Hands-On Experience for Students

Logan has partnered with the St. Louis Ambush, a professional indoor soccer club based in St. Charles, Missouri, to provide Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) students with valuable hands-on experience. Under the guidance of Quintin Murray, DC, MS, Logan clinician and assistant professor and Leslie Reece, DC, MS, CCSP, Logan clinician and assistant professor, students deliver on-site chiropractic care to Ambush players during home games.

“The partnership with the St. Louis Ambush gives our students an incredible opportunity to work in an integrative healthcare setting,” Dr. Murray said. “It’s a chance to build confidence, refine their skills and learn how to collaborate with other healthcare professionals and athletes.”

The Ambush, a member of the Major Arena Soccer League since 1999, has become a St. Louis sports mainstay. Owned by Shelly Clark and coached by Jeff Locker, the team plays at the Family Arena, drawing fans from across the region.

For Logan students, this collaboration offers full immersion into the fast-paced world of sports chiropractic. From administering adjustments to performing soft tissue therapies, students play a key role in ensuring players are game-ready and performing at their peak.

For Mikayla Hardy, a trimester 9 DC student, working with the Ambush has marked a pivotal moment in her education.

“Before this, I knew I wanted to gain more hands-on chiropractic experience,” Mikayla said. “When the email about this partnership came out, I couldn’t wait to get started.”

The experience has helped Mikayla develop confidence and adaptability in her chiropractic skills.

“Every game is different, and you never know what kind of care the players will need,” she said. “It’s amazing to see how our work directly impacts their performance.”

For her classmate Aby Barkman, another trimester 9 DC student, the opportunity to care for St. Louis Ambush players builds on her background working with athletes. Aby has previously provided chiropractic care to players from the O’Fallon Hoots, Fontbonne University, St. Louis Community College and Harris-Stowe State University.

“I came to Logan for opportunities like this,” Aby said. “Working with the Ambush healthcare team and treating athletes at this level has been incredible. It’s not just about applying what I’ve learned—it’s about thinking on my feet and meeting the demands of professional sports.”

Aby especially values the chance to take on a more prominent role working with professional athletes.

“These athletes depend on us to help them stay on the field, and that’s a responsibility I take pride in,” she said.

Ken Odoom, a trimester 8 DC student, knew he wanted to become a chiropractor from a young age. He chose Logan for its evidence-based approach to learning and diverse electives, and this partnership offered the practical training he was seeking.

“This is exactly why I came to Logan,” Ken said. “Dr. Murray and Logan go above and beyond to provide us with opportunities like this.”

Ken appreciates the mentorship he’s received throughout the experience.

“Dr. Murray allows us to take the lead while guiding us every step of the way,” he said. “Working alongside him and other Logan clinicians has been a great learning experience.”

Dr. Murray sees the partnership as a vital step in preparing students for careers in sports chiropractic and professional healthcare.

“The goal is for students to leave Logan confident in their abilities, skilled in patient care and ready to thrive in any healthcare setting they pursue,” Dr. Murray said.

Through partnerships like this, Logan bridges the gap between academic learning and real-world application. Working with the Ambush is a steppingstone to future success for Mikayla, Aby, Ken and many other students taking advantage of the unique opportunity.

Logan Alumnus and Faculty Member Supports St. Louis Soccer Stars

Anthony Miller, DC (’99) is a boardcertified chiropractic physician and sports medicine specialist who has dedicated nearly 25 years to providing comprehensive care for individuals with musculoskeletal conditions.

Born and raised in St. Louis, Dr. Miller played collegiate soccer and baseball before earning his Bachelor of Science in Human Biology and Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree from Logan University. Currently, Dr. Miller is an associate professor in Logan’s DC program teaching various courses, including biomechanics, spinal and extremity assessments, and musculoskeletal management.

“My goal is to teach students how to manage complex situations and cases in a multidisciplinary way,” Dr. Miller said. “Students usually aren’t sure how to do things like ordering diagnostic imaging or referring patients to other specialists. So, I try to help prepare them for those real-world situations.”

In addition to teaching at Logan, Dr. Miller is the head team chiropractor for the St. Louis Ambush.

“I’ve been working alongside the team medical staff as the head chiropractor for four seasons now,” Dr. Miller said. “We work collaboratively to make sure the athletes receive the best care possible.”

Beyond the Sidelines with Dr. Allie Foddrill

Allie Foddrill, DC (’24) first considered becoming a chiropractor because of her experience as a patient. As a multi-sport high school athlete, she wanted to remain at the top of her game, so she started visiting a chiropractor to prevent injuries. Inspired by the treatment she received, she visited several chiropractic schools and quickly realized it was her calling.

Dr. Foddrill chose Logan University’s Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) program for its balanced approach to education, blending traditional chiropractic principles with modern, evidence-based techniques.

“When visiting chiropractic schools, Logan stood out for its beautiful balance of older and newer philosophies and techniques,” Dr. Foddrill said. “I knew I wanted the best of both worlds.”

From the moment she arrived at Logan, she took advantage of every learning opportunity. Along with her coursework, she spent her lunch breaks attending various club meetings such as the Motion Palpation Institute and Rehab 2 Performance. She credits them for building her confidence in adjustment skills and teaching her physical therapy techniques.

“The clubs didn’t feel like extra work,” she said. “They were fun and gave me a chance to improve each day.”

Outside of the classroom, Dr. Foddrill gained extensive hands-on experience. She worked with collegiate athletes from the University of Missouri-St. Louis and Harris-Stowe State University as well as with professional athletes from the United Football League’s St. Louis Battlehawks. She treated the Battlehawks players both on the sidelines and in the locker room.

MDT, Logan assistant professor. There, Dr. Foddrill gained more experience treating professional athletes.

“I felt 100 percent included in their medical staff,” she said. “I loved seeing the difference chiropractic care made in these athletes’ lives. I also got to know them as people, beyond just football.”

Another valuable experience came from her internship at MVMT STL, a health and wellness clinic owned by Devon Ackroyd, DC, MS, DACBSP, Cert.

“Dr. Ackroyd took me under his wing and gave me an incredible opportunity to work with high-level athletes,” she said. “Treating these types of people can be nerveracking, and not many of my classmates had that kind of experience so early on in their careers.”

Since graduating from Logan, Dr. Foddrill has been pursuing her Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician (CCSP) certification, which opens doors to working with Olympic teams and improves her skills in on-field care and emergency procedures. She is also preparing to open her own chiropractic practice, The Well Yard, in St. Louis.

For those looking to follow a similar path, Dr. Foddrill offers a piece of advice.

“Dive in headfirst,” she said. “You might feel like you’re drinking from a fire hose at times, but if you keep at it, you’ll get there.”

As Seen on TV: Dr. Jameca Cooper’s Journey into the Minds of Serial Killers

With a career that has spanned academia, private practice and forensic psychology, Jameca Cooper, PhD, ABPP has established a multifaceted presence in the world of mental health. Based in St. Louis, Dr. Cooper teaches psychology courses for Logan University’s Bachelor of Science in Human Biology program and maintains a private practice as a board-certified counseling psychologist.

Dr. Cooper currently teaches two important psychology courses at Logan: Abnormal Psychology and Psychology of Aging. They provide undergraduate students with in-depth knowledge of mental health disorders and the unique challenges that accompany aging.

“These courses offer students a glimpse into what goes on in people’s minds, which can help them understand mental illness,” she said.

In addition to teaching, Dr. Cooper holds the prestigious role of president of the Missouri Psychological Association, the state association for psychologists. One of only three people of color to ever hold this position, she leads initiatives to expand the organization’s influence, collaborate with other groups and create new programs for

Missouri’s psychology community.

Dr. Cooper has also used her skills and knowledge to become a consultant and expert featured in several TV shows. During the COVID-19 pandemic, her career took an unexpected turn. Focused on geriatric psychology in her private practice, she became concerned about the dangers the disease posed to older adults. This led to frequent TV appearances where she discussed the mental health impact of the pandemic on this vulnerable population.

Dr. Cooper’s media presence expanded over time. She began consulting with attorneys regarding cases involving trauma and became a sought-after expert in forensic psychology. She is regularly on television offering insights into the psychological aspects of criminal behavior. Discovery Channel’s “Caught!”—a show that explores the mindset behind criminals and why they make the choices they do—featured Dr. Cooper as an expert. She also provides commentary on other crime-related programs, including a recent documentary on Fox Nation titled “The Amazon Review Killer,” which delves into the case of serial killer Todd Kohlhepp.

“The documentary sheds light on how seemingly ‘normal’ individuals can lead double lives as serial killers, which is a concept I find fascinating and vital for the public to understand,” she said. “It’s striking how dangerous individuals just blend into society.”

For students aspiring to work in psychology, Dr. Cooper offers realistic and practical advice.

“Anyone who wants to be a clinician and see people in therapy should pursue a master’s degree followed by a PhD and then obtain licensure to practice,” she said.

However, for those drawn to the forensic side of psychology, Dr. Cooper clarifies that it is not as simple as getting a degree. She emphasizes the importance of hands-on experience and specialized training for those looking to break into fields like criminology, cybersecurity or government roles with agencies like the FBI or CIA.

“There are various career options in clinical psychology that offer the opportunity to work with people experiencing mental health issues and some that intersect with the criminal justice system,” she said.

From Logan to the Big Leagues: COHS Alumni Thrive in Roles with Professional Sports Teams

Professional athletes require the most qualified and committed coaches and trainers. Three Logan University College of Health Sciences (COHS) alumni are meeting that demand by empowering MLB, NBA and NFL players across the country to perform at their best.

CHASE GIBSON

A collegiate baseball player at both William Woods University and Carthage College, Chase Gibson, MS (’24) planned to attend medical school. However, he changed his mind and decided to pursue a career in sports science after a suggestion from a friend who was working for the Milwaukee Brewers.

“I had no experience in the professional world of baseball—just experience playing—and I had no advanced degree,” he said. “I knew this was the field for me, so I persevered in applying for jobs with professional teams.”

Chase’s dedication and optimism paid off when he was offered a remote, temporary job with the Detroit Tigers as a baseball systems operator. Shortly after starting the position, he enrolled in Logan’s Master of

Science in Sports Science & Rehabilitation (MSSSR) program.

“I knew an advanced degree was needed for the profession, but I wanted a program that would be flexible with a work schedule—something adaptable,” Chase said. “Having lived 20 minutes from Logan’s campus most of my life, I was familiar with the school, but I didn’t know about the MSSSR program until I was searching for programs that fit my criteria.”

While enrolled, Chase began a biomechanics internship where he worked with baseball players to help spot flaws in their mechanics and devise plans to fix them.

“During my internship, I was able to put into practice what I was learning in the biomechanics course I was taking in the MSSSR program,” Chase said. “The internship and MSSSR program helped me learn a lot and feel more confident in my skills and in job interviews.”

After he graduated, Chase began his position as baseball technology coordinator for the Tigers.

JORDAN FORGET

Jordan Forget, MS (’21) began his academic journey at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, earning his bachelor’s degree in kinesiology. As a student he completed internships in health and performance, the most notable being with the university’s men’s and women’s basketball teams. This experience confirmed his interest in strength and conditioning.

After graduation, Jordan dove deeper

into the field, interning at schools in Boston and working in the private sector. Determined to continue progressing, he enrolled in Logan University’s Master of Science in Strength & Conditioning (MSSC) program. While pursuing his degree, he also interned, participated in a mentorship program, and leveraged opportunities to network with NBA strength coaches. These connections proved to be invaluable, leading to a three-month internship with the Dallas Mavericks. Jordan was eventually hired to a full-time position as an assistant strength coach for the team. He credits Logan with providing the skills needed for his role.

“During the COVID-19 pandemic, when everything felt uncertain, Logan gave me a structured approach to learning and staying

Chase Gibson

Jordan Forget

on top of the latest research,” Jordan said. “Those skills are vital in this field, where it’s expected that you continuously stay informed.”

Jordan is now part of a well-rounded strength and conditioning staff, with each person responsible for programming and recovery plans for three to five players. He also oversees the team’s sports science endeavors, including GPS tracking and other performance metrics. He said working with professional athletes comes with unique challenges.

“Professional athletes have so many demands placed on them, and when we ask for time in the weight room, it can feel overwhelming,” Jordan said. “Managing relationships and improving communication are crucial to building trust and achieving better outcomes.”

ZANE FAKES

As a lifelong athlete, Zane Fakes, MS (’24) understands the importance of injury prevention and strength and conditioning in sports. He was on the high school football team in his hometown of Plainfield, Indiana, and then he played as a tight end on Ball State University’s football team. After earning his bachelor’s degree in exercise science, Zane returned to Ball State for his master’s degree in sports administration.

Zane became a strength and conditioning intern for the Indianapolis Colts in 2018 before he was hired to a full-time role as assistant strength and conditioning coach. Wishing to further his education, he decided to enroll in Logan University’s oneyear, online Master of Science in Strength & Conditioning (MSSC) program.

“This program provided me with the education I needed in one year and allowed me to balance working full time and completing the coursework,” he said. “The high quality of the instructors has also been beneficial, as they provide many perspectives from working with different populations. It was incredible to apply what I was learning from the course in real time during the football season.”

As assistant strength and conditioning coach for the Colts, he helps take care of all player needs, including exercising, running, agility training, lifting, plyometrics, nutrition and hydration.

“The team usually has anywhere from 70 to 90 players, so it is a big undertaking to keep them all in great shape,” Zane said.

Logan Alumni Combine Chiropractic and Physician Assistant Practices to Optimize Patient Care

Anthony Radi, DC (’85), PA and Brett Rosman, DC (’85), PA-C met when they came to St. Louis from New York for Logan University’s Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) program. In addition to geography, they also shared a desire for careers that would allow them to help patients in a holistic manner.

DR. ANTHONY RADI

“Logan’s education was second to none,” Dr. Radi said. “The rigorous foundation in basic sciences and the solid groundwork of this program not only prepared me for a successful chiropractic career, but also for further medical pursuits.”

After graduating, he established a practice on Long Island, New York. As his career progressed, he found himself drawn to the broader scope of care available through medicine.

He chose to pursue a Physician Assistant (PA) degree at Stony Brook University. After graduating in 1990, Dr. Radi began working in orthopedic surgery while continuing to run his chiropractic practice.

“I never gave up my chiropractic practice to be a PA, and vice versa,” he said. “Together, they allow me to provide holistic and well-rounded care.”

In his chiropractic practice, he leverages his medical knowledge to offer comprehensive care, addressing conditions beyond musculoskeletal issues. For example, he advises patients on managing rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, combining chiropractic with his PA knowledge on medications and nutritional support. He integrates chiropractic experience with his background as an orthopedic surgery PA to provide exceptional whole health care to his patients.

“Logan prepared me not just as a chiropractor but as a healthcare provider capable of integrating diverse approaches to care,” he said. “Logan’s new Physician Assistant/Physician Associate program will open doors for others to do the same.”

DR. BRETT ROSMAN

Dr. Rosman was introduced to chiropractic through a family friend when he was in high school and later sought treatment from a chiropractor. This inspired him to pursue his DC degree at Logan.

Upon graduating, he returned to New York and started working for local chiropractors before eventually opening his own practice on Long Island. In addition to his Logan education, his practice was built on a foundation of volunteer work with an ambulance squad and teaching for the state’s EMT programs.

After practicing chiropractic for eight years, a life-changing event shifted the course of Dr. Rosman’s career. An accident during an ambulance run left him with extensive injuries that made it difficult for him to perform manual adjustments. He ultimately decided to pursue a new career as a PA.

He graduated from Touro College’s PA program in 1995. He spent the next 25 years in private practice. Although his work was primarily focused on general healthcare, his background in chiropractic also influenced his approach to patient care.

“Combining chiropractic care with my PA medical practice resulted in developing comprehensive, multifaceted treatment plans that benefit patients in unique ways,” Dr. Rosman said. “The chiropractic and PA professions complement each other, offering patients the best of both worlds. Chiropractors can treat musculoskeletal issues and optimize the nervous system,

“The chiropractic and PA professions complement each other, offering patients the best of both worlds.”

– Dr. Brett Rosman

while PAs can prescribe medications and manage more acute conditions.”

Dr. Rosman transitioned to United Health Group’s house calls team five years ago. As an advanced clinician provider, he conducts in-home health assessments for United Healthcare members. He performs physical exams, reviews medical histories and ensures patients fully understand their medical conditions and medications.

Throughout their careers, Dr. Radi and Dr. Rosman have seen firsthand how the chiropractic and PA professions can work together to provide more holistic and integrated patient care.

Logan University will begin accepting applications to its Physician Assistant/Physician Associate (PA) program beginning in April 2025. Learn more by scanning the QR code at right.

Drs. Lori Bents and Patrick Montgomery Receive Spirit of Logan Distinguished Alumni Awards

Logan President H. Garrett Thompson, DC, PhD will present the 2025 Spirit of Logan Distinguished Alumni Award to Lori Bents, DC (’84) and Patrick Montgomery, DC (’76), MS (’15), LCP, FASA, FICC, Logan professor, during Logan’s Symposium 2025 May 1-3 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.

DR. LORI BENTS

In addition to providing chiropractic care for more than 40 years, Dr. Bents has given back to Logan and the profession.

“I was on a pre-pharmacy track while earning my bachelor’s degree,” Dr. Bents said. “I decided to visit a chiropractor nearby and after the discussion, I knew this profession was my calling.”

Dr. Bents was able to meet Logan’s fifth president, Beatrice B. Hagen, DC (’40). Dr. Hagen was confident Dr. Bents would choose Logan’s Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) program, and she was right.

“My time as a Logan student was excellent, from the phenomenal instructors to the wonderful clinical experience,” Dr. Bents said. “I was also fortunate to help cut the ribbon during the dedication for the Montgomery Health Center.”

After graduating, Dr. Bents completed a research residency in Logan Basic

Technique, practiced in Hayward, Wisconsin, and taught at Northwestern University. She then established Bents Chiropractic P.C. in 1989 in Newport News, Virginia, and opened another practice, Bents Chiropractic Center S.C., eight years later in Wisconsin. Now Dr. Bents is the Wisconsin state representative for the International Chiropractic Association and a member of the Wisconsin Chiropractic Association. Her connections to Logan have remained strong.

“One way I have contributed was launching the Dr. Lori Bents Scholarship for Logan Doctor of Chiropractic students,” she said. “I received scholarships that made a big difference, so I wanted to give back in the same way.”

DR. PATRICK MONTGOMERY

Dr. Montgomery has been immersed in the chiropractic profession since childhood. His father, Dale C. Montgomery, DC (‘46) was a longtime anatomy instructor at Logan.

“I grew up with Logan and the chiropractic profession,” Dr. Montgomery said. “I knew all the teachers, and I was raised to show great respect for DCs.”

D.P. Casey, DC, former Logan dean and vice president, at their practices. He was also involved with Logan’s Alumni Association.

“While on the Alumni Association Board of Directors, Logan’s Board of Trustees asked us for support funding the construction of the Montgomery Health Center, named in honor of my father,” Dr. Montgomery said. “Our Building Committee led the fundraising team that raised $3.3 million.”

Other highlights of Dr. Montgomery’s career include serving as president of the Missouri Chiropractic Physicians Association, helping lead efforts to add chiropractic care to Missouri’s Medicaid program, and fostering a 20-year partnership between Logan and the St. Louis Scottish Games and Cultural Festival. He has also found it rewarding to help students contribute to the profession and involve them in the political process for chiropractic legislation.

“I’ve mentored countless students as a professor,” Dr. Montgomery said. “I’ve shared the Logan Basic Technique with students and professionals nationwide at other institutions, seminars and conferences for more than 45 years.”

Dr. Montgomery remains involved in the industry. He is president of the American Chiropractic Association Council on Women’s Health and past president of the Association for the History of Chiropractic and the Faculty American Chiropractic Association, among other affiliations and accolades.

After earning his DC degree, he opened his first practice while assisting his father and

Donor Honors Mentor’s Legacy with Renamed Dr. Ronald G. Nowman Alumni Center

Longtime Logan College of Chiropractic supporter Ronald Nowman, DC (’58) delights in giving back to the school that he believes gave so much to him. His latest gift of $500,000 will rename Logan’s newly renovated Alumni & Friends House to the Dr. Ronald G. Nowman Alumni Center.

The motivation behind this gift is twofold. Dr. Nowman said that he would never have achieved a successful career as a chiropractor without his alma mater along with the late Vinton Logan, DC. The son of Hugh B. Logan, DC, Logan’s founder and first president, Dr. Vinton Logan served as the university’s second president from 1944 to 1961. Dr. Nowman wanted his most recent donation to reflect his appreciation for Dr. Vinton Logan, who was his teacher and role model. Therefore, a focal point of the Dr. Ronald G. Nowman Alumni Center will be side-by-side busts of Dr. Nowman and Dr. Vinton Logan along with their biographical information. Dr. Nowman hopes the exhibit will bring renewed attention to someone who he thinks played a vital role in shaping chiropractic and inspired him and countless others to build careers in the profession.

Dr. Nowman did not always know that he wanted to become a chiropractor. Growing up in the small industrial town of Bradley, Illinois, he did not want a job in a factory. With a scholarship to the University of Illinois, he had plans to become a teacher. His path changed when a local chiropractor sparked and encouraged his interest in chiropractic. As a multi-sport athlete in high school, Dr. Nowman was a patient of K. I. Kline, DC. During Dr. Nowman’s senior year, Dr. Kline invited Dr. Vinton Logan to give a presentation on the burgeoning field of chiropractic at Dr. Nowman’s high school.

Dr. Ronald Nowman and his wife, Mary Nowman

“In the early days of chiropractic’s development as a science, there were multiple schools of thought being developed by several outstanding pioneers who established their own schools, including Palmer, which was first, then Logan, Culver, Lincoln, National College of Chiropractic, and New York,” Dr. Nowman said. “The system of body mechanics originated by Dr. Hugh B. Logan and developed by his son Dr. Vinton Logan has stood the test of time as a complete system of body mechanics. When Dr. Vinton Logan lectured at my school, he demonstrated his adjustment technique for us and showed us X-rays from before and after.”

Dr. Nowman was intrigued by what he witnessed and impressed with Dr. Vinton Logan, who he described as a meticulously dressed, charismatic man with a commanding presence. With Dr. Kline’s support, Dr. Nowman changed course and enrolled in Logan’s Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) program.

At the time, Logan was located on Florissant Road in Normandy, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis. Dr. Nowman credits Dr. Vinton Logan for having a vision for all that Logan could be.

Dr. Nowman benefited from learning from instructors who were practicing chiropractors, as Dr. Vinton Logan was. He believes that is one of the reasons Logan provides students with the most well-rounded chiropractic education in the world. He credits Dr. Vinton Logan for helping to build that foundation and placing philosophy at its core.

“In chiropractic, it’s not just skills,” Dr. Nowman said. “Dr. Vinton Logan impressed upon us that you must have the philosophy, or the ‘why,’ behind everything you do. He taught that you had to understand and know how to articulate why you’re a chiropractor and what you can do that other medical professionals can’t. You need the understanding of chiropractic philosophy to become a wellrounded chiropractor.”

Dr. Nowman continues to practice chiropractic in Bradley. He appreciates that although Dr. Vinton Logan passed away decades ago, his legacy will continue to live on at the Dr. Ronald G. Nowman Alumni Center.

Dr. Vinton Logan

Born in Peoria, Illinois, in 1905, Vinton Logan, DC shaped the field of chiropractic. As the son of Hugh B. Logan, DC—founder of Logan University and pioneer of the Logan Basic Technique—his commitment to advancing chiropractic education and the profession was evident from the start.

Dr. Vinton Logan

After graduating with his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Universal Chiropractic College in Pittsburgh in 1927, Dr. Vinton Logan practiced with his father in Los Angeles for eight years. For a time, he was associated with the College of Chiropractic Physicians and Surgeons as an instructor and a member of its Board of Trustees. While at the College, he also chaired the Department of Chiropractic Theory and Technic. In 1934 he joined his father to promote Logan Basic Technique and begin making plans for opening the Logan (Basic) College of Chiropractic.

By September 1935, Logan College opened with its first class of seven students. For nearly a decade, Dr. Vinton Logan served as dean of the college. When his father passed away in 1944, he assumed the presidency and led Logan into a golden era of growth and affluence. Under Dr. Vinton Logan’s leadership, the post-World War II years brought an influx of veterans, growing the student body exponentially. It was evident Dr. Vinton Logan’s vision and dedication had cemented Logan’s place as a leader in chiropractic education.

Dr. Vinton Logan was known for being a charismatic and dynamic individual. Colleagues described him as a “master orator,” a “phenomenal motivator” and a speaker whose words resonated deeply with audiences. His ability to recall names and active involvement in student life and functions earned him respect and loyalty. A 1944 Logan College yearbook stated: “Beloved by all Logan students, [Dr. Vinton Logan] serves as a leading source of inspiration on the campus.”

During the Dr. Vinton Logan era, the Hugh B. Logan Memorial Building and other structures were constructed. At the time, this was considered the first large-scale chiropractic college expansion.

In addition to his administrative duties at the college, Dr. Vinton Logan was a member of several organizations and elected a Fellow of the International College of Chiropractors. In collaboration with his mother, Fern Logan Murray, DC, Dr. Vinton Logan edited and published the Textbook of Logan Basic Methods in 1950, which is based on his father’s original writings.

Dr. Vinton Logan remained president of Logan until his death in 1961.

Logan University Hosts Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony for the Carter | Eberline Administration Building

Logan University celebrated the naming of the Carter | Eberline Administration Building with a ribboncutting ceremony and building tour October 24, 2024. The newly remodeled building includes an updated lobby, library, bookstore and coffee area, and expanded student study areas and collaboration spaces.

“The Carter | Eberline Administration Building represents much more than just the completion of renovations; it embodies our shared vision for the future of health sciences and chiropractic education,” said former Logan President Clay McDonald, DC (’82), MBA, JD. “These enhancements are significant and thoughtfully designed to enhance our students’ experience and meet the evolving needs of our community.”

An anonymous donor wished to name the building after two 1979 graduates of Logan’s College of Chiropractic: Paul Eberline, DC (’79), DACBN and Joseph Carter, DC (’79). Dr. Carter, a former instructor at Logan and owner of Eastern Carolina Medicine located in South Carolina, attended and spoke at the ceremony.

“As I look around this beautiful campus, and especially this newly renovated building,

I am filled with pride,” Dr. Carter said. “Logan University has come a long way since those days in the ‘70s, and its growth and transformation have been extraordinary. The Carter | Eberline Administration Building is a testament to that evolution.”

Though unable to attend in person, Dr. Eberline, a member of Logan’s Board of Trustees and owner of Eberline Family Chiropractic in Iowa, recorded a video message expressing his gratitude that was played during the ceremony.

“Looking around campus at the Fuhr Science Center, the Purser Center and the Montgomery Health Center—these people are giants in our field,” Dr. Eberline said. “To have Dr. Carter’s and my name on a building with that group of individuals is such a wonderful experience and extremely humbling. I am truly honored to be part of this.”

During the ceremony, Chesterfield Mayor Bob Nation honored Logan and Drs. Carter and Eberline with a special proclamation.

“On behalf of the City of Chesterfield, it is my pleasure to recognize Logan University for its commitment to education and for this beautiful facility,” Bob said. “I am pleased to officially recognize October 24, 2024, as Carter | Eberline Administration Building Day.”

Eric Lopez, a trimester 8 Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) student and Logan Student Government representative, highlighted the positive impact the new renovation has on students.

“I have had the privilege of experiencing firsthand how amazing these renovations are, and on behalf of my fellow students, I want to extend a heartfelt ‘thank you’ to all the donors who have made this transformation possible,” Eric said.

“The new spaces have truly enhanced our learning experience, and as I see new students coming into the program, I know they will be well-equipped with all the tools and resources they need to be successful, confident, competent practitioners.”

The renovation of the building was made possible by hundreds of generous supporters who contributed to Logan’s Advancing Education, Transforming Lives campaign—an investment in leading-edge technology and experiential learning opportunities that have been a part of the university’s curriculum since its first class of seven students in 1935.

Dr. Norman W. Kettner Presents Inter-Brain Connectivity Study at IASP 2024 World Congress on Pain

Positive interactions with healthcare providers are essential for individuals living with chronic pain as they often face social and emotional challenges related to their condition. Norman W. Kettner, DC (’80), DACBR, FICC, dean of research and professor emeritus of Logan’s Department of Radiology, and a team of researchers from Harvard Medical School wanted to explore the brain mechanisms underlying these interactions and their link to painrelated outcomes.

“To optimize care outcomes, we need an improved understanding of all the variables involved in treatment, including the relationship between clinicians and patients,” Dr. Kettner said.

The researchers decided to use hyperscanning to estimate interbrain connectivity in real time during clinical interactions. Hyperscanning is a neuroimaging technique that simultaneously records the brain activity of two or more people while they interact by using non-invasive methods like electroencephalography (EEG).

“The activity in your brain will mirror the activity in the brains of the people

“These findings indicate that patients who feel heard and respected by their provider experience higher satisfaction and increased loyalty and are more likely to follow treatment recommendations.”

– Dr. Norman W. Kettner

you are working with,”

Dr. Kettner said. “Students and teachers, singing groups and bands often experience this brain wave synchrony. The question is: Why?”

Dr. Norman W. Kettner

The team’s EEG-hyperscanning study collected brain signals from 34 chronic low back pain patients and the licensed acupuncturists who were treating them. The patients were randomly split into two groups: augmented and limited. Those in the augmented group experienced a friendly and attentive clinician who engaged in active listening and delivered personalized treatment. Patients in the limited group saw a narrowly focused physician who intentionally remained neutral and impersonal throughout the visit.

In both groups, pain was administered via a cuff around the patient’s left leg followed by electro-acupuncture treatment from the clinician. After the treatment, therapeutic alliance was assessed using the Consultation and Relational Empathy (CARE) scale, and psycho-emotional affect was evaluated with the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS). Brain data was collected using two 64-channel EEG systems. The researchers focused on six scalp regions: frontal, temporal, and central from both the left and right hemispheres.

Although the type of patient-clinician interaction did not impact pain relief, results showed the therapeutic alliance was stronger among those in the augmented group than the limited group.

The augmented group reported better moods, higher expectations for pain relief, and more interest in future acupuncture therapy compared to those in the limited group.

“These findings indicate that patients who feel heard and respected by their provider experience higher satisfaction and increased loyalty and are more likely to follow treatment recommendations,” Dr. Kettner said. “Healthcare professionals should work with their patients in a more person-centered manner as well as cultivate their listening and communication skills.”

The brain-to-brain connectivity analysis revealed a greater linkage in the alpha and beta bands between right temporal central areas following augmented versus limited interaction during pain treatment. Additionally, after augmented interaction, clinicians’ right frontal cortex was highly connected with all the patients’ brain regions, particularly the cross-hemispheric left frontal areas.

“This suggests clinicians’ right frontal cortex plays a unique role in sustaining inter-brain synchrony during pain treatment and confirms its involvement in higher order social functions such as recognition of social cues,” Dr. Kettner said.

Dr. Kettner and his team presented their study, “Inter-brain connectivity differs between augmented versus limited patient-clinician interactions,” at the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) 2024 World Congress on Pain in Amsterdam on August 8. They hope to also publish it in a peer-reviewed journal covering pain.

Alumna Publishes Research on Integrating the Biopsychosocial Model into Chiropractic Education

During her clinical rotations at Logan University, Kristin Miller, DC (‘22) encountered a patient with chronic neck pain who challenged her to think beyond physical symptoms.

“I wondered, ‘Could this pain be more than just tissue damage? Could psychological and social factors also play a role in shaping the patient’s pain experience and recovery?’” Dr. Miller said.

Dr. Miller’s curiosity led her to reconsider not only her approach to care but also how chiropractic students are trained to understand chronic pain. While her education emphasized the biomedical model—addressing the physical causes of pain—she wished she were also learning more about the psychological and social aspects of pain. This spurred a question: Are future chiropractors being prepared to treat pain from a biopsychosocial perspective?

With guidance from her clinical instructor Patrick Boylan, DC (’17), Ed.D.

“It’s important for practitioners to continue asking questions and looking at the latest research to improve patient care.”

– Dr. Kristin Miller

(’24), Dr. Miller launched a study on how pain neuroscience education and patientcentered care influence chiropractic students’ understanding of chronic pain.

Bridging the Gap in Chiropractic Training

The study, “Evaluation of chiropractic students’ knowledge and attitudes following pain interventions: A randomized educational trial at 2 institutions,” was co-authored by Dr. Boylan; Logan alumni Casey Mullen, DC (’21) and Macy Randolph, DC (’22); Norman W. Kettner, DC (’80), DACBR, FICC, dean of research and professor emeritus of Logan’s Department of Radiology; and Katherine Pohlman, DC, MS, PhD, director of research at Parker University.

The study examined how incorporating the biopsychosocial model of pain into chiropractic education could enhance both student understanding and patient care. Participants received targeted 50-minute lectures on pain neuroscience, chronic pain or patient-centered care. Although students showed immediate improvements in their understanding, sustained progress required ongoing education.

“The results showed that immediate improvements in knowledge were possible, but without sustained focus, those improvements weren’t maintained,” Dr. Miller said. “That tells me the purposeful, ongoing education on these approaches may shift how we understand and treat pain.”

The research was presented at the 29th Annual Association of Chiropractic Colleges Educational and Research Agenda Conference (ACCRAC) in 2023 and published in the Journal of Chiropractic Education in 2024.

Applying Research in Practice

Now practicing in New Orleans, Dr. Miller applies the insights she gleaned

“My

goal has always been to spark a conversation and inspire change; that’s why I chose the chiropractic profession in the first place. I’d love to see chiropractors trained to not just treat the tissue but understand the entire experience of the patient.”

– Dr. Kristin Miller

from her research every day, treating patients with chronic pain across a variety of populations, including veterans and underserved communities.

“Being in private practice doesn’t mean my interest in research stops,” Dr. Miller said. “It’s important for practitioners to continue asking questions and looking at the latest research to improve patient care.”

Dr. Miller hopes to inspire the next generation of chiropractors to adopt the biopsychosocial model early in their training. She envisions these approaches becoming standard practice, fostering more comprehensive care for patients with chronic pain.

“My goal has always been to spark a conversation and inspire change; that’s why I chose the chiropractic profession in the first place,” she said. “I’d love to see chiropractors trained to not just treat the tissue but understand the entire experience of the patient.”

Dr. Sherry McAllister: 2025 Dr. Beatrice B. Hagen Award Recipient

At age 19, Sherry McAllister, DC, M.S. (Ed), CCSP, FACC was a biology student at the University of Calgary preparing for a career in pediatric oncology. But a serious car accident altered her plans. Months of debilitating headaches and lower back pain left her searching for answers.

“I felt like I was living in doctors’ offices,” Dr. McAllister said. “The medication wasn’t solving the problem. I was frustrated and running out of hope.”

A classmate suggested chiropractic care. Skeptical but desperate, Dr. McAllister made an appointment. The visit changed her life.

“It was the first time someone explained what was wrong and showed me how to fix it,” Dr. McAllister said. “Within days, my symptoms disappeared. That was when I knew I had found my calling.”

After her recovery, she enrolled at Palmer College of Chiropractic. While earning her degree, Dr. McAllister served as president of the Student Council and Academic Society.

“I realized chiropractic care has the potential to change lives,” she said. “I wanted to help move the profession forward and bring people together to achieve that vision.”

For 30 years, Dr. McAllister owned McAllister Chiropractic in San Jose, California, where she helped patients achieve healthier lives. She now serves as president of the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress (F4CP), a nonprofit organization

“The future is extraordinarily bright. Chiropractic care is about unlocking the body’s potential.”

– Dr. Sherry McAllister

that educates the public about chiropractic care through positive press. Dr. McAllister hosts F4CP’s podcast “Adjusted Reality,” where professional athletes, celebrities, healthcare professionals and influencers talk about their health and lifestyle experiences.

“My mission is to build on the truth,” she said. “Chiropractic care is essential to optimize life and longevity, and I want to make sure that message reaches as many people as possible.”

Additionally, Dr. McAllister chairs the International Strategic Accelerator for Women (iSAW), which is dedicated to driving unprecedented progress in achieving economic equality for women across all levels of the workplace.

Dr. McAllister’s work has earned her numerous accolades, including the 2024 Stevie Silver Award for Thought Leadership and a Fellow designation from the American College of Chiropractic. This year she will receive the Dr. Beatrice B. Hagen Award during Logan University’s Symposium 2025 May 1-3.

“Dr. Hagen was a pioneer,” Dr. McAllister said. “Receiving an award in her name is humbling. It’s a reminder to live boldly, lead with integrity and strive to do what is right.”

Following the presentation of the Dr. Beatrice B. Hagen Award May 2 during Logan’s Symposium 2025, Dr. McAllister will deliver a presentation titled, “Chiropractic Pillars of Whole Being Care: A Healthier Path for Your Patients’ Lives - Focusing on the Latest Research.” You can register for Symposium 2025 by scanning the QR code at right.

In Memoriam

Logan University offers its sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Ralph Barrale, DC (’69), who passed away January 7, 2025, at the age of 78.

“In many ways, Dr. Barrale embodied the best of Logan,” said Clay McDonald, DC (’82), MBA, JD, former Logan president.

“Though I didn’t have him as an instructor, his reputation and integrity preceded my meeting him. I was honored to work with him.”

Dr. Barrale spent 13 years in private practice after graduating from Logan. He was called back to join the Logan faculty in 1982. During this time, he became not only an educator, but a lifelong advocate of chiropractic as a way to improve health, performance and quality of life naturally and noninvasively.

In 1998, Dr. Barrale transitioned from the classroom to postgraduate education. In this role, he helped build Logan’s Postgraduate Department by collaborating with chiropractic leaders to bring quality education to DCs while also meeting licensure requirements from state associations.

By the time he retired from Logan as vice president of chiropractic affairs and alumni relations in 2022, Dr. Barrale had presented more than 50 seminars and lectures to various state chiropractic associations and organizations, published research in chiropractic journals, and been a member of numerous committees, boards and associations.

ACA Wraps Up 2024, Begins 2025 Strong

The United States elections made headlines around the world this past November. During this election cycle, the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) political action committee (PAC) was active in supporting pro-chiropractic members to the U.S. House and Senate.

In January, ACA hosted its annual meeting, ACA Engage, in Washington, D.C. The event brought together people from across the chiropractic profession and positioned chiropractors and students for success by offering top-notch education offerings, networking and leadership development opportunities, presentations from clinical experts, panel discussions, social events, and a chance to lobby members of the U.S. Congress during Chiropractic’s Day on Capitol Hill.

FICS: An Evolving Organization

The Federation of Sports Chiropractic/ Fédération Internationale de Chiropratique du Sport (FICS) has formalized our strategic goals to provide focus and take us from being the world’s best-kept secret to the global leader in sports chiropractic.

We are reviewing our rules, practices and standards, which is critical for a volunteer organization accountable to its members. We will achieve this accountability through a stronger governance framework that will benefit FICS through:

• Effective risk management: Strengthening our processes for identifying, assessing and managing risks will contribute to better risk management practices.

• Enhanced transparency and accountability: Our framework promotes transparency by offering stakeholders clear insight into FICS’ operations, finances and decisionmaking.

• Better decision-making: We will redefine the roles, responsibilities and processes that guide informed decision-making.

• Protection of stakeholder interests: We will improve our prioritization of stakeholder interests, ensure ethical treatment and build greater trust.

• Stronger financial performance: Strong governance is a calling card for a well-managed, ethical company.

We welcome your involvement at our 2025 Global Symposium March 15-16 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Learn more at FICS.Sport/FICSMalaysia-2025-World-of-SportSymposium.

Dear Alumni, Friends & Supporters:

In 2021, we embarked on one of the most significant campus improvement projects in Logan University’s history: the 48,000-square-foot renovation and expansion of the Fuhr Science Center and remodeling of the Carter | Eberline Administration Building. Now, more than three years later, this historic endeavor to maintain state-of-the-art education, provide hands-on learning opportunities, and adapt and grow with technological advances is complete.

The opening of the Fuhr Science Center and the Carter | Eberline Administration Building is a testament to the power of generosity and philanthropy. It would not have been possible without your support. I am pleased and proud to say that your contributions to the Advancing Education, Transforming Lives capital campaign amounted to $3.2 million. Words cannot express the depth of my heartfelt gratitude.

Leading the Advancing Education, Transforming Lives campaign has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. I’ve had the privilege of sitting down with so many of you and listening to your stories. Each conversation reveals the deep connection and commitment you have to Logan University and your passion for giving back. Your generosity isn’t just about building new facilities; it’s about creating a legacy that will transform the lives of future generations of students.

This annual report highlights key milestones that the Logan community celebrated from September 2023 to August 2024, including announcing our university’s eighth president, H. Garrett Thompson, DC, PhD. I hope to see you on campus May 2 for his inauguration, marking an exciting new chapter for Logan.

The annual report also shares stories of students benefiting from scholarships as well as a few of the donors who have helped make those opportunities possible. It recognizes all the individuals who have made a gift, opened their practices for preceptorships and referred new students to the university. It shows that Logan’s financial position remains strong through fiscal year financial reports.

This year is a reminder of the incredible impact that a community can have when it comes together with a shared vision. Thank you for helping us continue to create an environment that will foster learning, innovation and excellence for years to come. Our ongoing success is a tribute to each one of you, our champions of change.

Sincerely,

Student Scholarship: Dr. Gina Zamary and Adam Castro

For Gina Zamary, DC (‘24), earning the Toftness Clinical Excellence Grant was a defining moment in her journey at Logan University. Originally from Cleveland, Dr. Zamary chose Logan after exploring several schools. She was drawn by its welcoming community and scenic campus.

The Toftness Clinical Excellence Grant recognizes a trimester 10 DC student for exemplary work in the clinic and assists in launching them into long and successful careers in the chiropractic profession. The grant allowed Dr. Zamary to earn her Webster Certification, a specialized prenatal qualification through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. This training prepares chiropractors to support pregnant patients on their journey to motherhood.

Adam Castro, a trimester 5 Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) student earned the Founders Scholarship by taking a full course load and maintaining a 4.0 GPA for the first three trimesters of the program. The scholarship, awarded to four students out of 160 in his class, provides full tuition from trimester 4 through 10.

“When I found out I got the scholarship, it felt like I could finally take a full breath after a lot of hard work,” Adam said. “The tuition worries are gone, which is a surreal feeling.”

The scholarship has not only eased a financial burden, but also strengthened Adam’s determination to excel. Tutoring his peers helps him maintain the 3.75 GPA required to keep the scholarship and provides personal fulfillment.

“This certification is a game-changer for me,” Dr. Zamary said. “It’s given me a head start in offering specialized care to my future patients and sets me apart as I begin my career.”

Dr. Zamary maximized her opportunities during her time at Logan. She served as president of the Rehab 2 Performance Club and was an active member of the Motion Palpation Institute and Forward Thinking Chiropractic Alliance. These experiences complemented her classroom and clinical training, building her confidence as a chiropractor.

Dr. Zamary currently plans to work as an associate chiropractor with dreams of one day opening her own practice.

“I am deeply grateful to the donors who support scholarships like this,” Dr. Zamary said. “Pursuing higher education is challenging, but this grant has eased my financial burden and allowed me to focus on my passion for chiropractic care.”

“Tutoring reinforces what I’m learning and allows me to take the material to the next level by teaching it,” Adam said. “It’s rewarding to see classmates do better because of our collective efforts.”

His experience with chiropractic motivated him to become a DC. Growing up, he suffered a debilitating back injury playing sports, and the care he received provided relief.

“I always felt better after seeing a chiropractor,” he said. “During the pandemic, I found myself watching chiropractic videos and thinking, ‘This is amazing. I want to help people in this way.’”

Upon graduation in December 2026, Adam plans to return to his home state of California to find a chiropractic position that offers opportunities for growth.

“I want to go where I can make the biggest impact,” Adam said.

Donor Spotlight: The Doyle Family

For generations, the Doyle family has upheld a tradition of giving back to Logan University and its students. Central to this legacy of generosity is the Dr. B.E. Doyle Scholarship, a fund established by the late B.E. Doyle, DC (‘64) and his wife Ruth, whose career as a chiropractor shaped not only his life but also those of his children and countless others.

Dr. B.E. Doyle’s path to chiropractic began in the early 1960s. A meat cutter by trade, he suffered a debilitating back injury that left him searching for alternatives to surgery.

A recommendation from a fellow meat cutter and Logan graduate, Stephen Furjes, DC (‘61) led him to chiropractic care. Inspired by his recovery, Dr. B.E. Doyle not only embraced chiropractic as a method of healing but also saw it as a potential new career. At the age of 32 and a married father of three, he enrolled in Logan University’s Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) program while continuing to work full time.

Upon graduation, Dr. Doyle worked as an associate in the Chicago area before starting his own practice in Jacksonville, Illinois. He encouraged his children to explore the profession, which resulted in four of six becoming chiropractors: Dr. Dennis Doyle, DC (‘80); Kelly Doyle, DC (‘83); Anna Doyle, DC (‘91); and Edwin Doyle, DC (‘92).Each found their own path to Logan, bolstered by the values of perseverance and service their father instilled.

The scholarship started off small; Dr. B.E. Doyle contributed portions of his income and invited his children to match his donations. Over the years, it grew into an endowed scholarship that has helped students pursue their chiropractic education since the 1990s.

“Our father’s vision was to ease the financial burden for students facing unique challenges,” Dr. Dennis Doyle said. “He saw this as a way to invest in the future of chiropractic and to honor the support he received when he needed it most.”

Today, the scholarship remains a family endeavor, with contributions managed by Logan University to ensure its continued growth and sustainability.

“My father always emphasized the importance of sharing both the joys and challenges of practice,” Dr. Dennis Doyle said. “The scholarship is an extension of that philosophy, fostering a sense of connection and support among Logan students.”

Although Dr. B.E. Doyle passed away in 2006, his legacy endures through the scholarship.

“My dad was always deeply grateful for the opportunities that chiropractic provided him,” said Dr. B.E. Doyle’s eldest son, Dr. Dennis Doyle. “He wanted to give others the chance to experience that same fulfillment.”

This desire to pay it forward was the genesis of the Dr. B.E. Doyle Scholarship, established to support students juggling family responsibilities, military service experience or financial constraints—challenges Dr. B.E. Doyle personally navigated while attending Logan.

“My father always emphasized the importance of sharing both the joys and challenges of practice. The scholarship is an extension of that philosophy, fostering a sense of connection and support among Logan students.”

Donor Spotlight: Cordogan Clark

For more than a decade, Cordogan Clark has played an integral role in shaping Logan University’s campus in Chesterfield, Missouri. Known for its expertise in educational design, the firm’s architectural, planning and engineering work has made a lasting impact on Logan’s facilities.

Greg Goebel, principal and director of design in charge of St. Louis operations for the company, has worked closely with the university on several major projects over the years. What began as smaller renovations has evolved into larger initiatives, including the design of the renovated and expanded Fuhr Science Center and reimagined Carter | Eberline Administration Building, both of which were completed in 2024.

For Greg, one of the most memorable transformations was Logan’s library. Originally a chapel, the space was converted into the George A. Goodman, DC Library. Greg’s team carefully preserved the chapel’s stunning stained-glass windows during the renovation. Although the windows, designed by wellknown artist Emil Frei, are not currently in use and remain in storage, Greg hopes to incorporate them into future projects, ensuring that Logan’s rich history is honored alongside its modern developments. This idea of blending the past with the future reflects Greg’s broader perspective on the power of educational design.

“Working on education projects like Logan’s creates a generational impact,” Greg said. “It’s about designing spaces where future leaders are shaped. Logan is creating tomorrow’s leaders, and their learning environments are essential to that growth.”

Greg appreciates Logan’s pursuit of excellence in all that it does, whether it is improving learning with state-of-theart facilities or offering students ample opportunities to gain hands-on experience.

“Logan never settles for ‘good enough’,” Greg said. “They are always focused on what’s best for their students. Their commitment aligns with ours: to create top-quality educational environments.”

The long-term nature of these projects, which take an average of five years from start to finish, has allowed Greg to build lasting relationships with the Logan community.

“The people at Logan have become like family,” he said.

Beyond its architectural contributions, Cordogan Clark has also made significant financial gifts to Logan. The firm recently donated $25,000 to support campus improvements. A plaque in one of the new anatomy labs in the Fuhr Science Center recognizes the company’s generosity.

“We believe in supporting the schools we work with,” Greg said. “Whether it’s donating bikes for students at an elementary school or funding building projects at Logan, we’re proud to contribute to the schools’ success.”

Theresa Fleck, Ed.D., CFRE, CAE, CNP, vice president of institutional advancement and admissions at Logan, appreciates Cordogan Clark’s contributions, both in construction and philanthropy.

“They have been an excellent partner in this important construction effort,” she said. “We are also tremendously grateful for their generous philanthropic support. With their help, Logan can continue to provide a stellar hands-on education to our current and future students.”

Looking forward, Greg is excited about Cordogan Clark’s continued partnership with the university.

“The projects at Logan are among the best I’ve had the privilege of designing,” he said. “We’re proud to support Logan University and look forward to future collaborations.”

“Logan never settles for ‘good enough.’ They are always focused on what’s best for their students. Their commitment aligns with ours: to create top-quality educational environments.”
