Charles Sawyer, DC, senior vice president at Northwestern Health Sciences University, was named the Chiropractor of the Year by the Minnesota Chiropractic Association at the association's annual convention. The Chiropractor of the Year is awarded to a DC who provides outstanding service to the chiropractic profession and the MCA.
"The honoree is dedicated to programs, projects and issues that have been influential in helping position the chiropractic profession in the community and health care arena, said Jennifer Olafson, MCA's education and event specialist. "They must also have a good community service record."
Dr. Sawyer shares credit for the award. "It is nice that the MCA values the efforts here at the University. It is confirmation of the importance of our partnership. I would consider it an acknowledgment of collective efforts. I was representing many others as well."
The MCA awards committee reviews a number of applicants before making a final decision. According to the MCA, Dr. Sawyer was an absolute clear choice.

While working at the Lovelace Medical Center in Albuquerque, N.M., one of the primary care physicians stated that imaging every patient prior to receiving chiropractic was not medically necessary. It was at that point I reconsidered the need for the imaging of every patient to avoid malpractice.
