Our House Joint Memorial on Veterans Accessing Chiropractic Care Passed Out of Committee!!

[Guest guest]

Dear colleagues, I’m please to inform you that the Oregon Chiropractic Association’s “House Joint Memorial” (attached) was passed out of the “House Veterans Affairs Committee” by unanimous vote this morning. Additionally the OCA plans to hand deliver this memorial to the Portland VA Medical Center’s new Director and I asked that the Co-Chairs of the House Veterans Affairs Committee and any committee members that feel this issue is important to be present for that conversation/meeting with the VA Director. The entire committee including the two Co-Chairs indicated interest in being at the meeting or calling in. In addition the OCA/ACA has been lobbying our two US Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyen for their help which they are going to give the hope is to get them at least on the conference call and have their in-district Congressional aids at the meeting both of whom I have worked with prior. We also will have the help of Congressmen Blumenauer and Schrader, an official from the Governor’s office and officials from the University of Western States. Our goal is to prompt the Portland VA to hire a full time DC., make chiropractic care readily available at their outpatient clinics and by referral to our offices. We also via the UWS wish to have the Portland VA open their teaching hospital to 4th year UWS chiropractic interns…. Yes, the Oregon Chiropractic Association is looking out for you…..
