Palmer College of Chiropractic has recently established academic
affiliations with the following Department of Defense facilities: the
Naval Health Clinic in Newport, R.I.; the Naval Branch Health Clinic in
Groton, Conn.; and the Hornet Health Clinic – Naval Hospital Lemoore in
Lemoore, Calif.
The staff chiropractor associated with the
United States Navy facilities in Rhode Island and Connecticut is James
Barassi, D.C., a ’91 Davenport Campus graduate. The staff chiropractor
at the California U.S. Navy facility is George Sargetis, D.C., an ’83

rotations to begin with each doctor in July 2011.
The addition of
these Naval Health Clinics brings the number of academic affiliations
that Palmer has with Department of Defense and Veteran’s Affairs
facilities to nine, involving ten different chiropractic doctors.
