Donations
and Students Flocking to Life
In
what should be no surprise for anyone, both students and money have seemed to
follow Dr. Guy Riekeman to Life University. In the past several months, the
music has stopped in the game of musical presidents with Dr Riekeman resigning
from Palmer, Dr DeSpain being released from Life and Dr Riekeman then being
announced as the new president of Life. Now that the shifting of chairs
has stopped, the results are beginning to be felt.
The first result of the changes
was a student uprising at Palmer. This translated in rallies, protests, and
a vote of no-confidence by the student and alumni who participated in an online
vote taken on www.dc2be.com. Results are
still posted on that site and show an overwhelming outrage for the loss of
Riekeman.
The next effect was a resurgence
at Life. Life University was on the ropes. Even though many were
putting on an optimistic face, the reality was that Life, which had lost it's
CCE accreditation, then gained it back in court, was out of money and students.
The results were that Life was in eminent danger of losing their regional
accreditation with the Southern Associations of Colleges and Schools (SACS).
Loss of SACS accreditation would have caused the school to close immediately.
With the announcement of Riekeman as
president, the fortune of Life has been dramatically turned around. Almost
immediately, over 40 students transferred from Palmer to Life. This alone
represents a huge boost for Life. The word also has emerged that scores
more will be transferring at their breaks between quarters.
In addition to the boost of students, money
has also started to flow into Life to help with the immediate crunch needed for
this year's budget. To date, over 2 million dollars has been pledged with
more on the way. There is also a buzz about the Life Source meetings.
Previously, these meetings looked like a small gathering of the most faithful.
Now, with the addition of Riekeman, these meetings should take on a whole new
dimension.
All in all, Life U's future
looks bright. And for the first time in a long time, we can all say with
great confidence...
"Life Goes ON!"

Why I Use
Now You Know; by Dr Jay Handt
Undoubtedly,
the best way to keep your patients informed, educated, and up-to-date in their
high-speed, ever-changing world is by incorporating a Now You Know website into
your patient protocol!
Now You Know has mastered the
art of crunching all of this information into bite-sized, understandable pieces
so you can benefit from your patients greater understanding of Chiropractic and
its place in modern health and wellness care.
Both you and I know that
patient education is the cornerstone of any large referral practice. What better
way to enhance your Report of Findings or orientation than by having your
patients do what they do best . . . spend time on the web! My Now You Know
website not only helps my patients learn about Chiropractic, but it gives them
the tools to share Chiropractic and my office with their family and friends!
They are actually proud that their Chiropractor is on the cutting edge of
technology! They have the pleasure of showing off your office without ever
leaving their home or office.
In the past, most patients
used to say, “If I could just get my friends to meet you and see the office, I
know they’d start under care. BUT, they won’t come in.” Now, if I get this
“Mohammed won’t come to the mountain,” reaction, we encourage our patient to
“bring the mountain to Mohammed!” They introduce friends and family to their
Chiropractor and The New York Chiropractic Life Center via my website! It’s
definitely one of the best referral tools out there! It’s non-confrontational,
highly visual, and totally accessible!

chiropractic news that makes the general media world-wide. Not all the
