Chiropractic history celebrated

The Association for the History of Chiropractic (AHC) held its silver anniversary (25th) Conference on Chiropractic History on the campus of the Southern California University of Health Sciences (formerly LACC) in Whittier, Calif. The University sponsored a luncheon that was attended by conference participants and members of the University’s board of trustees.

Several original papers were presented by chiropractic historians, and the AHC’s annual prize for the best paper was awarded to Brian Smith, DC, for his investigation into the life and career of LACC’s founder, Charles A. Cale, DC.

A. Joe Willis, DC, was given the Lee-Homewood Chiropractic Heritage Award for his lifetime contributions to the profession. Also honored at this year’s silver anniversary Conference was AHC co-founder, James M. Russell, DC, longtime former chair of the board of regents of Texas Chiropractic College.

The board of directors announced that the AHC’s 2006 Conference on Chiropractic History would be held on the campus of the National University of Health Sciences in Lombard, Ill., during the National’s 100th anniversary homecoming, June 22–24, 2006. Details are available at www.chirohistory.org.

The AHC is a nonprofit membership society founded at Spears Hospital in Denver in 1980. The AHC publishes a biannual scholarly journal, which is a benefit of AHC membership.
