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.”
Tough or not, the feeling of disappointment and grief was inevitable last summer when the Games of the XXXII Olympiad were postponed due to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. The decision meant that professional athletes would need to spend another year focusing on their performance and health, and pushing their bodies and minds for longer periods of time in order to realize their dream of participating in an Olympic Games event.
Charles Keller, D.C., a 1955 graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic, has committed a $1 million legacy gift to his alma mater to support students. The gift supports current projects underway at the leading chiropractic college in the world.
For 14 years, he and fellow chiropractors advocated for licensure with the Massachusetts Chiropractic Society and they were eventually successful when then-Governor John Volpe signed a bill into law in 1967. Dr. Kiernan practiced in his clinic in Lawrence, Massachusetts from 1967 until his retirement in 1997.
Leonard Feldman, D.C. was inducted into the Palmer Academy of Fellows in 2019 during Homecoming.
