Hospital, Chiropractic
College Collaborate on Patient Care
More hospitals are now making chiropractic care
available to patients. One such program was reported in
the March 2003 issue of the magazine, Chiropractic
Economics. In that article it is reported that Monroe
Community Hospital, a teaching nursing home in New York,
has teamed up with New York Chiropractic College to
establish a chiropractic clinic to serve individuals
with a host of chronic disabilities. The target patients
for this are frail nursing home residents who
traditionally could not receive chiropractic services.
The article notes that this collaboration allows
patients to experience relief of their spinal pain
through chiropractic care. Monroe Community Hospital and
New York Chiropractic College have since decided to
commit additional time for patient visits in the
consultative clinic, and the program has spawned related
research projects. Chiropractic services at the hospital
are now offered three days per week under the direction
of a NYCC professor.
The program was initiated after Dr. J. Donald Dishman, a
New York Chiropractic College clinician and researcher,
introduced the pilot program in 2002 that demonstrated
chiropractic's efficacy in treating chronically ill
patients.
