Logan University (Chesterfield, MO) has opened the new Foot Levelers Women’s Health Clinic at the Montgomery Health Center on the university’s campus. Logan is the first university worldwide to house a women’s health clinic on its premises, showcasing Logan’s commitment to excellence in health, education and service, the university said.
The clinic offers a comprehensive approach to care, including chiropractic services, diagnostic imaging and nutritional counseling, conveniently accessible for a flat fee of $20, with acupuncture available for an additional $20. The new clinic is led by Emily Kliethermes, DC, who brings more than 25 years of experience in women’s health as a practicing chiropractor and higher education instructor.
“Women’s health is at the forefront of health care and we are beyond excited to be a leader in this area,” said Dr. Kliethermes. “It’s vital that women feel heard and that their symptoms are taken seriously by health care professionals. I am honored to help women in our area live their best lives and help their bodies work at optimal levels by offering chiropractic care, along with nutritional and lifestyle modifications.”
Jamie Greenawalt, on behalf of Foot Levelers, Inc. (Roanoke, VA), presented a $50,000 gift to Logan which will be divided into two purposes: $25,000 to directly support the services of the new clinic in providing comprehensive care tailored to the needs of women and $25,000 to foster the next generation of female chiropractic professionals through the Women’s Endowed Scholarship.
“The Foot Levelers Women’s Health Clinic at Logan is not just a facility; it will become a place of hope and healing, offering the best of what chiropractic care can offer women across the community and beyond,” said Greenawalt. “The hope is that this scholarship will ease the burden for female students who aspire to excel in the field of chiropractic, ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder their aspirations.”
In addition to the gift, Foot Levelers set forth a $25,000 matching gift challenge to encourage others to consider supporting. Between now and May 31, 2024, every donation made to either the Foot Levelers Women’s Health Clinic or the Women’s Endowed Scholarship will be matched dollar-for-dollar by Foot Levelers, up to $25,000.
