The new Bruce & Bethel Hagen Student Union is possible thanks to the generous $1 million donation by Bruce C. Hagen, D.C. and his wife Bethel.
Dr. Bruhl was one of the first doctors of chiropractic to provide care in Kenya. His first adjustment was done in front of an audience, because they’d never seen an adjustment done before. His first patient was a 16-year-old girl who suffered from frequent headaches following a fall from a motorcycle.
Dr. Benet-Canut, and a small group of others, started the first chiropractic program within an official university in Mexico.
following the advice to move her husband to a cold, dry climate, they relocated to Saskatchewan, Canada and Almeda Haldeman, D.C. became the first chiropractor in Canada, and one of the first female chiropractors in the world.
Dr. Smith set up shop in Rock Island, Illinois, but his chiropractic experience extends beyond the 55 years he spent in practice. There are his thirty-plus mission trips to countries like Ethiopia and Russia. Not to mention 40 years as a faculty member at Palmer, spending most of his time in technique classes.
