Women Chiropractors (WDC), a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting and empowering women in the chiropractic profession, reached a significant milestone with its Facebook group: surpassing 10,000 members, all vetted and licensed women doctors of chiropractic.
This online community, designed as one of WDC’s free resources, noted a WDC press release, connects women DCs from across the globe, fostering personal and professional growth, mentorship and shared knowledge within the field.
Designed to provide a space for women DCs to network, the group serves as a forum for members to ask questions, share insights and support each other. Group members benefit from the collective wisdom of their peers, discussing topics ranging from chiropractic techniques and business practices to work-life balance and personal development.
Facebook has invited Women Chiropractors to several group forums; with the average group hitting about .52% engagement, WDC, with a regular 85% engagement rate, is one of the most active groups on the social media site.
“As we reach this incredible milestone of 10,000 Facebook group members, we are thrilled to see how our online community is making an impact on women chiropractors worldwide,” said Cristina Padilla, DC, president of WDC. “Through our Facebook group and various initiatives for WDC members, we continue to inspire and uplift one another, making the women in our profession stronger together.”
WDC offers women in chiropractic a wide array of resources, including:
- WDC Connects events: Regional meet-ups that strengthen local bonds and foster professional relationships.
- Biannual conventions: In-person gatherings that bring members together for networking, education and inspiration.
- Re-entry program: A program designed to assist women DCs in returning to the profession after time away.
- Continuing education courses: Essential education to support professional development.
WDC not only provides access to valuable tools and mentorship, but also creates opportunities for women to step into leadership roles and take center stage in the chiropractic profession. Through these programs, the organization is dedicated to advancing the success of its members by providing essential resources and educational opportunities.
“As we continue to grow, surpassing 10,000 members in our Facebook group is a testament to the strength and solidarity of women in chiropractic,” said Ashleigh Creeden, executive director of WDC. “This milestone reflects our commitment to creating a space where women can support one another, exchange knowledge and inspire each other to reach new heights. Together, we are paving the way for future generations of women chiropractors to thrive and lead in this profession.”
