PAY IT FORWARD
Being of service to others is one of our highest callings. Learning the unique skills of Osteopathy is an honor.
With dedication, insatiable curiosity and the study of philosophy and anatomy, our skills are heightened. While the meaning of life may be the discovering of your art, the purpose of life is to share your art with others. After 30 years of practice in various aspects of hospital medicine, it was time for me to return to our roots. The way to a full-time practice of Osteopathy has been paved with the conviction that Dr. Still’s discovered principles of seeking the cause of the problem, knowing anatomy and restoring the arterial perfusion & venous/lymphatic drainage of tissues are Osteopathic tenets that heal people.
People have come to the Still Point Clinic seeking the restoration of their health. Like you, our patients appreciate our help and dedication to reinvigorating their wellness. We are asked, “Are you teaching this (Osteopathy)?”
We tell them that we are and that we also support an organization, The Osteopathic Cranial Academy Foundation (OCAF), which in turn provides scholarships to teaching
organizations such as the Osteopathic Cranial Academy, the Sutherland Cranial Teaching Foundation and Osteopathy’s Promise to Children.
Patients often ask, “what can I do to make a difference?”
Further, the Foundation funds research grants to reveal new levels of scientific understanding, validation and the application of the science of Osteopathy, and in particular, Osteopathy in the Cranial Field.
Patients often ask, “what can I do to make a difference?” We tell them that Dr. Still’s philosophy will be made more vital when we help the next generation of students overcome financial burdens so that they can take further training in Osteopathic Cranial Concept based programs. Sadly, many Osteopathic students are carrying significant debt. These financial challenges limit their ability to take additional classes.
We offer our patients the opportunity to support students, many of whom they may never know. We ask our patients to “Pay It Forward” by contributing to OCAF on behalf of Osteopathic and Allopathic students who are seeking further light in Osteopathy. Since its inception in 2022, over $150,000 has been donated by our patients to student scholarships as they have given back to Osteopathy and paid it forward.
