The weekend was filled with meaningful connection, education, and inspiration. Attendees experienced a strong lineup of engaging speakers, fireside chats, and panel discussions, all centered around the shared mission of creating healthier communities through principled chiropractic care. From discussions on pediatric and family wellness to broader conversations around the future of the profession, the event reflected the depth and passion that continues to define the ICPA. Life Chiropractic College West was proudly represented throughout the weekend by students, faculty, and staff who attended to learn, connect, and celebrate alongside colleagues from around the country. Events like this highlight the importance of staying connected to the larger chiropractic community and continuing to foster relationships that strengthen the profession. A meaningful takeaway for many in attendance was seeing how closely the ICPA’s mission aligns with the educational philosophy students encounter every day at Life West. Through the leadership and longstanding involvement of Dr. Peter Kevorkian, those connections are especially evident. His dedication to the principles of vitalistic healthcare and community wellness continues to influence the student experience, reinforcing Life West’s commitment to helping communities build a more salutogenic lifestyle through chiropractic.   - ![IMG_4515](https://voice.lifewest.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_4515.jpg?width=4032&height=3024&name=IMG_4515.jpg) Hover message - ![IMG_4521](https://voice.lifewest.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_4521.jpg?width=3088&height=2316&name=IMG_4521.jpg) Hover message - ![IMG_4500-1](https://voice.lifewest.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_4500-1.jpg?width=4032&height=3024&name=IMG_4500-1.jpg) Hover message - ![IMG_4539](https://voice.lifewest.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_4539.jpg?width=960&height=791&name=IMG_4539.jpg) Hover message - ![IMG_7011](https://voice.lifewest.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_7011.jpg?width=4032&height=3024&name=IMG_7011.jpg) - ![IMG_4503](https://voice.lifewest.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_4503.jpg?width=4032&height=3024&name=IMG_4503.jpg) The momentum from the weekend also sparked excitement for future student involvement. For students interested in establishing an ICPA chapter at Life West Bellevue, there is no better time than now to help bring that vision to campus and expand opportunities for leadership, service, and connection with the broader chiropractic family. Both of the Life Chiropractic College West campuses are also looking ahead to hosting the ICPA for Webster Certification in the near future, with hopes of eventually bringing the full certification program to students and doctors in the region. Expanding access to these educational offerings reflects the growing interest in family-focused chiropractic care and specialized training. As the ICPA celebrates four decades of service, leadership, and advocacy, the Gathering served as both a celebration of its history and a reminder of the work still ahead. The community the ICPA has built is strong, supportive, and mission-driven — and that spirit will continue to shape the profession as it moves into the next 40 years. Life West was honored to be part of this milestone event and looks forward to growing alongside this incredible community.
