$20 from every new patient assessed is donated to "CHIROPRACTORS
WITH COMPASSION". The Doctor's donate the $20 even if patients
receive a free assessment.
“CHIROPRACTORS WITH COMPASSION” raised $1 Million between 2004
& 2008 to finance projects around the world; 80 % of this money goes to
sustainable projects such as creating sources of clean water in villages.
In 2007 Dr. Greg Payne travelled with other Doctors to see first hand the
work “COMPASSION CANADA” is doing in the Dominican Republic. This
current project involves the installation of a vocational training and
income/employment generating centre which will empower women to
stop depending on the garbage dump to meet their families’ daily needs;
supplying a playground and day care-type centre where children can play
freely, safely and be educated; and providing clean water for the entire
community. This project is transforming this entire group of people from
the INSIDE OUT.
The doctors were also honoured with the opportunity to serve the
people of the Dominican by supplying chiropractic care to orphans,
widows and community members in this “project town”. This project is
providing a model for other Batays (sugar towns) in the country.
Since 2006 the Metcalfe St. Chiropractic & Wellness Centre continues to
support two children from Kenya.
