 St. Louis - Logan College of Chiropractic/University Programs officially dedicated a new 13,000-square-foot educational wing on its suburban Chesterfield, Mo. campus at a special ribbon-cutting event held June 21 during the school’s annual homecoming. The $4.9-million capital improvement project, which required 13 months from design to construction completion, included renovation of the Montgomery Health Center and the Performance Health BIOFREEZE® Sports & Rehabilitation Center as well as the creation of the Foot Levelers, Inc. Clinic and the Standard Process, Inc. Courtyard. Over the past five years, Logan has invested nearly $40 million toward modernization of its educational programs and 112-acre campus, located about 30 minutes west of downtown St. Louis.
Dr. George A. Goodman, Logan president, served as master of ceremonies for the event. Special guests included St. Louis County Chief Executive Charlie Dooley and Chesterfield Mayor Bruce Geiger, both of whom presented proclamations proclaiming June 21 as “Logan College of Chiropractic/ University Programs Day.” Other dignitaries on stage included Dr. William D. Purser, a major donor for the new Educational Wing; Charlie DuBois, president of Standard Process, Inc.; Kent Greenawalt, president and chief executive officer of Foot Levelers, Inc.; Steve Roberts, J.D., chair of the Logan Board of Trustees; Dr. Allen Epstein, president of the Logan College Alumni Association; Brian Snyder, president of the Logan Faculty Council; and Christina Lynch, president of the Logan Student Doctors’ Council.
During the formal ceremony, Dr. Epstein presented two special awards. Dr. William D. Purser, DC, an August 1953 graduate and major donor to the school, received the “Tower of Chiropractic” award. Dr. Debra Hoffman, a Sept. 1980 graduate and vice chair of the Logan Board of Trustees, was honored with the nbsp; Logan Alumnus of the Year award for her service to the college. The new Logan educational wing is a multi-level facility that features a state-the-art assessment center
on the ground level for utilizing standardized patients. The assessment center enhances student-faculty collaboration where they can share their clinical observations. It also allows students to transition from the classroom to the exam room in a real-time clinical assessment setting.
Established in 1935, Logan has 950 students, representing most states and several foreign countries, at its 112-acre campus in Chesterfield, Mo., a western suburb of St. Louis, and is one of the largest chiropractic colleges or universities in North America. Logan University offers Master of Science degrees in Sports Science and Rehabilitation, and Nutrition and Human Performance and undergraduate degrees in Human Biology and Life Science with an Accelerated Science Program (ASP) option to complete pre-requisite coursework at an accelerated pace. Logan’s campus also houses the state-of-the-art BIOFREEZE® Sports & Rehabilitation Center, which is specifically designed to treat athletic injuries. The college provides health and wellness care for patients in the St. Louis metropolitan area through seven local health centers in St. Louis, St. Louis County and St. Charles County.
