State of Florida Warns Public About Unlicensed Chiropractors The state of Florida, has started a billboard campaign warning people of the dangers of unlicensed chiropractors. These billboards are not the work of some chiro-hating group funded by medical money. These are from the Florida Department of Health.
According to the Florida Department of Health, this campaign is for six months and ends on 6-30-2006 at the end of their fiscal year. Chiropractic is not the only profession with this campaign as Medicine is spending $301,000 for their campaign titled "Don't put your life in the wrong hands", and Nursing has $2.7 million earmarked for their unlicensed activities education program. Other professions programs may not involve billboards. In response to this campaign, the Florida Chiropractic Society hired Mr. Bill Hebrock a legislative consultant to look into the matter. In an email to Dr. Tim Zook, FCS - PAC President, Mr. Hebrock explained, "These chiropractic billboards were, in fact, paid for by the State of Florida (DOH) through a public/private partnership with the Florida Outdoor Advertising Association (FOA) which donated the actual billboard and bus stop advertising space." He also noted that the Florida Board of Chiropractic Medicine had a final approval of the Billboard content. To see Hebrock's entire letter please click here. The Florida Chiropractic Society also responded in their publication. To read this story from the Florida Chiropractic News please click here.
In order to clarify the situation I called Dr. Sal LaRusso, the President of the Florida Board of Chiropractic Medicine (yes that is their official name in Florida). I sent him several questions concerning this issue. He answered all the questions and added several comments below:

A Special Thank You to New Beginnings Dr. BJ Harman and myself want to extend a special thank you to the Board, and doctors of New Beginnings. At the last meeting in New Jersey on January 28th, 2006 the New Beginnings board bestowed on us the distinction of an honorary "PhC" (Philosopher of Chiropractic) degree. Only several times per year, the new Beginnings Board bestows this honor to a select few Chiropractors who have contributed to the body of chiropractic philosophy and the New Beginnings movement. At the January meeting they gave "PhCs" to Dr. BJ Harman, Dr. Carol Iaizzi, and myself.
On behalf of Dr. Harman and myself, we feel deeply honored and humbled by this act. I can honestly say it was one of the few times I have ever seen BJ Harman speechless! When we look at those who have received the PhC. in the past we can only feel humbled by the list of those who have also received this honor. The New Beginnings meetings are a special place to share with those who love the philosophy of chiropractic and keep it deep in their heart. These meetings are about growing philosophically, professionally, as well as in your practice. We recommend New Beginnings to everyone. For more information, please go to their website at www.newbeginningschiro.com. We hope to see you at their next meeting April 23 - 26, 2006. |
