LELIA I. SCHLABACH, D.C. (Main, `47), served to advance Palmer College and the chiropractic profession for more than five decades. She was the first woman on Palmer College’s Board of Trustees in 1973. In 1980, she submitted a resolution to the Board to acquire Northern California College of Chiropractic, now known as Palmer West. That initiative earned her the title of “founding mother” of Palmer West by chiropractic historian Joe Keating, Ph.D. She was also active in her state association in Arizona, where she served as president and was appointed chairman of the Arizona Board of Examiners for three years. Dr. Schlabach continued to care for patients until she was 91 years old, five years before her passing in October 2022.


WALTER S. SCHAEFFER, D.C. (Main, `86), discovered his passion for chiropractic after 15 years in the publishing industry. He served as class president for two years and was appointed Palmer College’s Dean of Students under Dr. Jerry McAndrews before choosing to enter into private practice in 1988. Dr. Schaeffer’s belief in the Activator method earned him an Advanced Proficiency rating and NIH funding for research on the efficacy of using Activator on temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJDs). The results of his research can be found in the chapter on TMJDs that he co-authored for the official textbook on Activator Methods. Dr. Schaeffer was the owner and operator of Schaeffer Chiropractic in Iowa City, Iowa, prior to his passing in December 2022.
