Within a matter of weeks, I was dispatched to personally visit the location where it was all taking place. Driving there, I marveled at the irony of my destination, for it was Buena Park Doctors Hospital in Buena Park, California. For many who embrace the concept of holistic and natural healing, the idea of an acute-care hospital setting for chiropractic patients is admittedly, paradoxical. A short time before that article was published, Mr. Robert Trautman, another hospital administrator of rare vision with a keen appreciation for chiropractic, was already working closely with his hospital's medical staff. A chiropractic protocol was established for this new innovative mode of treatment for chronic and acute pain sufferers.
Chiropractors now have the ability to co-admit patients to the hospital.
The insights and directions of each profession are now complimenting each other. The Buena Park facility listened. The medical and chiropractic staff relationship grew stronger. The development of the chiropractic program served to further advance the hospital's special services. Not surprisingly, when this dedicated group learned what was happening in Houston they determined that a mirror program at Doctors Hospital in Buena Park could be of great benefit to their facility and their patients.
