Jennifer Coffey, D.C. found a mentor in her father, John Coffey, D.C. (Main, ’76).
“He came from such a great generation of chiropractors who were passionate, principled, and ready to change the world one adjustment at a time,” says the younger Dr. Coffey.
John practiced for decades in Auburn, Washington, and exposed his daughter to the profession he was passionate about. Over time, Jennifer also learned of her father’s love for Palmer College. Unfortunately, Dr. Coffey senior passed away unexpectedly in June 2017.
Jennifer, along with her brother, Jonathan, and aunt, Tamara Krause, chose to honor his memory with a $50,000 gift in Dr. Coffey’s name to support capital projects at Palmer College. To recognize the family for their generous gift, a group study room in the new David D. Palmer Learning Commons will bear the Coffey family name.“I know he’d be so proud of how Palmer has grown, and he’d want all the students to remember the power of THE specific chiropractic adjustment—it’s what makes what we do so awesome.”
