CalChiro
Sacramento, Calif. – April 1, 2020 - Thank
you to the hundreds of doctors who added their names to
the California Chiropractic Association (CalChiro) list
of volunteers. Your willingness to step up displays your
commitment to the citizens of California.
On March 30, California Governor Gavin Newsom announced a call
for volunteers to assist with healthcare worker shortages needed
to care for California’s COVID-19 patients. “Medical
professionals are the heroes of this moment. We need ALL
healthcare workers out in the field. This is an all hands-on deck
situation as we prepare for what’s ahead. Doctors, nursing
students, EMTs & more–CA needs YOU. Sign up. Spread the word.”

It is predicted that COVID-19 infections in this state will peak
in Mid-May, and should the models prove accurate, we will
desperately need more healthcare professionals.

The CA Board of Chiropractic Examiners (BCE) has also put out a
plea to its licensees. “The BCE encourages licensed Doctors of
Chiropractic to be part of the workforce to support the medical
surge during this time of need. The state is in need for help at
quarantine sites, testing sites, and medical surge facilities and
needs assistance with pre-hospital triage and pharmacy services.
Interested medical and health care professionals are encouraged
to visit healthcorps.ca.gov for
more information and to register for the California Health Corps.
The BCE thanks licensed DCs for doing their part during the
COVID-19 health emergency.” As essential healthcare providers and
13,000 strong in California, chiropractic has an excellent
opportunity to have a huge impact on patients during this
crisis.
