“The profession is reaching a higher level of recognition and this historic meeting is the next step toward having a voice in healthcare reform” said Summit Chairman Dr. Lewis Bazakos. “It is heartwarming to see the great number of people who traveled long distances to come together under one roof to work for the betterment of the profession.”

The first Chiropractic Summit – held in Washington, D.C. in September of 2007 – featured 13 organizations representing chiropractic colleges, vendors, research facilities and leaders of the colleges. The number of organizations participating increased to 24 for the second Summit and Dr. Bazakos is already fielding calls from additional groups eager to participate in the next Chiropractic Summit in August 2008.

"The ICA was proud to participate in this event for the advancement of chiropractic. Chiropractors coming together from all sides of the profession will only strengthen our common resolve for a healthier public through the benefits of chiropractic care," stated ICA President, Dr. John Maltby.

“We are honored to participate in and support the excellent work of the Chiropractic Summit,” said Foot Levelers President and CEO Kent Greenawalt. “This diverse group of organizations representing the profession is working hard to better chiropractic’s position in our healthcare system.”
