Dr. Bonnie S. Hillsberg has been appointed to the Board of Directors for the Association for Clinicians for the Underserved (ACU) www.clinicians.org. ACU is a nonprofit organization of clinicians, advocates, and health care organizations united in a common mission to improve the health of America's under-served populations and to enhance the development and support of the health care clinicians serving these populations.  The organization was established in 1996 by participants and alumni of the National Health Service Corps. ACU has a constituency of more than 8,000 clinicians and 900 organizations. ACU’s membership represents individuals in 18 professional disciplines, community clinics, health care organizations, and professional societies. ACU is committed to five objectives:

1. Enhancing support for clinicians.

2. Providing access to information relevant to Clinical Practice.

3. Providing opportunities for clinicians to interact with other professionals.

4. Promoting research to increase understanding of underserved practice

5. Increasing opportunities for training relevant to providing health care to under-served populations.

As a Board Member, Dr. Hillsberg hopes to have chiropractic health included in the vision and mission of ACU.  Dr. Hillsberg strongly believes chiropractors need to be permanently included in the National Health Service Corps and that the 45 million medically under-served people in this country deserve to have alternative medicine, including chiropractic, as part of their access to care.
