We proudly celebrate alumnus and U.S. Air Force veteran Dr. Zachary Bloom (‘20) for receiving the Future Phenom Award from Pinnacle Chiropractic System — the organization’s highest honor for doctors in practice five years or fewer.
The award was presented at the recent Pinnacle National Seminar, recognizing Dr. Bloom as an emerging leader whose career reflects the organization’s core values: First Class Service, Irrational Generosity, and Systems Driven Excellence. His recognition highlights both his rapid practice growth and his unwavering commitment to mentoring others while serving his community and country.
Honoring Service, Education, and Purpose
During the ceremony, Pinnacle leaders paid tribute to Dr. Bloom’s military service with a special moment that few expected: a ceremonial hooding to replace the graduation ceremony he missed while deployed with the U.S. Air Force. Life West was proud to donate his doctoral hood so the Pinnacle community could honor his journey — a fitting symbol of perseverance, purpose, and the mission of chiropractic.
Reflecting on the experience, Dr. Bloom shared how both Life West and Pinnacle have shaped his professional path:
“It wasn’t just about receiving a hood — it was about honoring the service, the education, and the mission of chiropractic that Life West instilled in me, and that Pinnacle helped me live out in practice.”
A Leader in the Next Generation of Chiropractors
Pinnacle Executive Director Dr. John Nab commended Dr. Bloom for embodying the organization’s highest ideals of service, leadership, and humility — qualities that define the Future Phenom Award.
As part of his continued commitment to supporting future chiropractors, Dr. Bloom will host a Life West student and alumni gathering at the upcoming Pinnacle National Seminar in Phoenix, January 17–18, 2026. The event will connect students and doctors for mentorship, tools, and inspiration to build thriving practices grounded in service and excellence.
Continuing the Legacy of “Give. Do. Love. Serve.”
Dr. Bloom’s recognition stands as a proud reflection of the values that guide Life West graduates around the world — leadership, service, and a heart for humanity. His achievements remind us that the chiropractic mission reaches far beyond the classroom and clinic, extending into communities where compassion and excellence meet.
Congratulations, Dr. Bloom, on this well-deserved honor. You continue to make the Life West community proud.
