PCA May President's Address with Dr. Kris Arnold

PCA President Dr. Kris Arnold’s First Address: Unity, Communication, CE, and Advocacy

In the first President’s Address on Spinal Chat, Pennsylvania Chiropractic Association President Dr. Kris Arnold outlines goals to strengthen chiropractic in Pennsylvania through greater unity, improved communication, member engagement, and a stronger shared voice. He highlights the sold-out Northeast Chiropractic Summit at Kalahari, encourages members to attend the next Summit on May 1–2, 2027, in Seven Springs, and urges participation via PCA emails, social media, the members-only Facebook page, YouTube, and the Spinal Chat podcast. Dr. Arnold reminds doctors that it is a CE renewal year, requiring 24 credits plus two child abuse credits, and promotes PCA-approved in-person and online options, including PCCI billing/documentation training. He notes upcoming insurance pre-authorization changes affecting United, Highmark, and UPMC, invites members to fill open board seats, recognizes the sports working group’s involvement in the Pittsburgh Marathon, and references upcoming legislative victories in Harrisburg.
