Parker event focuses on kid safety

Nearly 1,400 children received free identification kits, spinal screenings, dental screenings, and safety tips at Kids Day America/International at Parker College of Chiropractic September 20. In all, more than 3,000 family members learned how to keep their children a little bit healthier and more secure.

Kids Day America/International is a day of children’s health, safety, and environmental awareness celebrated in chiropractic offices around the world. This is the third year that Parker College has hosted the event, with attendance more than doubling every year.

The traffic flow at Kids Day at Parker was bigger and this year spilled into both the Dallas Chiropractic Wellness Clinic and the Student Clinic across the parking lot. Over 90 students from Parker College worked at the event, assuming roles from Spanish-speaking translators to parking attendants. Parker College senior interns screened the upper spine of every child at Kids Day. Each attendee also received a voucher redeemable for a $15 initial pediatric examination or a $30 first visit for adults. Both vouchers include a full physical with x-rays of the affected area for the adults.

“We really use the Kids Day event at Parker as a model to our other doctors to show them how they can reach their full potential and to expand every year to reach even more children,” said Dr. Theresa Warner, founder of the event, along with her husband, Dr. Stuart Warner. “The Kids Day celebration this year exceeded our expectations. It was just fabulous!”
