Diversity in chiropractic is vital because it helps us connect with today’s generation. With our world’s ever changing population, it’s crucial to understand different cultures and traditions we come across in our profession. It’s important to me to create a foundation with my patients where they feel comfortable, welcomed and loved regardless of their race and background.

Dr. Ashley Roman (She/Her), Director
When searching for a healthcare provider, we seek someone who can truly understand us—not just by speaking the same language, but by recognizing the crucial role that culture plays in our approach to healing. Diversity in chiropractic care helps people from different cultures find a provider who can best understand them and support them on their healing journey.

Dr. Alysa Smith (She/Her), Director
Diversity in chiropractic matters because representation in healthcare is crucial, especially for underserved communities. As a Black female chiropractor and first-generation American, I understand the unique challenges marginalized groups face. By increasing diversity in our field, we can provide culturally competent care, reduce health disparities, and create a more inclusive, empathetic healthcare system

Dr. Ciara Taborn (She/Her), Director
Diversity in chiropractic is crucial for improving patient outcomes by ensuring that care is culturally sensitive and tailored to diverse populations. When providers reflect the communities they serve, they can better understand cultural differences, build trust, and create more effective treatment plans. This leads to more personalized care, reduced health disparities, and better overall health outcomes.
