Vickie Anne Palmer has been awarded the Lee-Homewood Chiropractic Heritage Award by the Association for the History of Chiropractic during the Annual Conference on Chiropractic History. This award is given each year to an individual who has made a distinguished career contribution of lasting significance toward the advancement of chiropractic in the scientific and academic communities, and public acceptance of the profession.
Known as The Refiner of chiropractic, Vickie Anne Palmer, H.C.D. (Hon.), has built on her family heritage by providing leadership to the chiropractic mission. She joined the Palmer College Board of Trustees in 1978 and was elected chairman in 1987. As Board chairman, she was instrumental in developing the concept of Palmer’s multi-campus system, which today includes three campuses.
In 2008, she officially concluded her 21-year tenure as chairman, though she continues to serve on the Board as secretary general, chairperson of the Heritage & History Committee, and as a member of the Executive Committee. She’s a distinguished Fellow in the Palmer Academy of Chiropractic and in 1987 was granted an honorary Doctor of Chiropractic Humanities degree.
Congratulations, Vickie! Thank you for everything you do for the chiropractic profession.
