In “Anatomy,” published in 1918 and the first chiropractic anatomy textbook, Mabel Palmer, D.C., detailed the structure and function of the body’s plexuses. Every Palmer student knows that the brachial plexus, cervical plexus, lumbar plexus and sacral plexus serve to connect. They intertwine and innervate. They communicate and form a network.
So, what is the Palmer Plexus?
Palmer College of Chiropractic has the biggest and most far-reaching alumni network of any chiropractic program in the world, and more than 2,000 students are studying at the College.
Palmer Plexus connects them all. It facilitates communication and energizes the Palmer Nation.
On Founder’s Day, September 18, 2024, Palmer College launched Palmer Plexus, a powerful and exclusive online community.
“Alumni and students at the best chiropractic college in the world deserve a place to go 24/7 to connect — their own supersystem that enables interaction, sharing, learning, mentoring, reuniting with classmates and friends, and making new connections,” says Barbara Melbourne, J.D., vice chancellor for institutional advancement. “Palmer Plexus is an extension of our ‘home’ — a global community of Palmer-educated chiropractors with the shared vision of creating a better and healthier world.”
Teams of faculty and staff are collaborating to implement Palmer Plexus. Features for alumni to connect with one another are available now, with features for students coming soon after. Palmer Plexus allows students and graduates to find and engage with classmates; to forge meaningful mentoring relationships; to post and search for job opportunities; and more. The Plexus will evolve and grow as more people join and become active.
