Logan University Donor Snapshot: Dr. Joseph Kayser

(Recently, Dr. Joe made a donation to Logan University in Chesterfield, Missouri, his alma mater. We thought we'd share their "snapshot" of him from their spring, 2018 alumnus magazine.)

Dr. Joseph Kayser

After practicing chiropractic for more than 55 years, Joseph Kayser, DC, FIACA still loves going to work, every single day.

"I'm grateful for the chiropractic profession, which has allowed me the opportunity to serve the community for more than half a century." said the St. Louis native. After graduating from Logan in 1961, Dr. Kayser left St. Louis for Jefferson City, Missouri, where he began practicing. He never strayed far from his alma mater and has remained an avid supporter of Logan and a regular attendee of the University's annual Spring Symposium and the Benefactor Dinner. "The Symposium is an outstanding event that everyone should attend," he said. "The high energy and enthusiasm acquired from mingling with fellow comrades and learning new information to bring back to our clinics always gives me a sense of renewal, motivation, and purpose." His continual support of the university may also have something to do with his fond memories of his time at Logan. Dr. Kayser studied under Drs. Vinton Logan, D.P. Casey, Dale C. Montgomery and Earl Lankau—some of the most recognizable names in the profession. "All of these doctors were highly dedicated to chiropractic and inspired me to become the best chiropractor possible; I was fortunate enough to study under some of the greats of our time," he said. Dr. Kayser reminisces fondly about classes being held in a large house called "Old Main" and a small modern clinic with a cafeteria, which also served as an assembly hall. He remembers studying every spare moment and working part-time, but also having a lot of fun. "Our class had two Las Vegas-themed events, which paid for graduation and a party at The Chase Park Plaza," he said. His class also started Logan's first soccer team. "It's hard to compare our humble beginnings to the current beautiful campus and modern facilities in the profession these days," said Dr. Kayser. "Logan has continued to grow, not only with the campus, but also through the incredible lineup of postgraduate classes that are now available. I feel indebted to the university and am happy to contribute to its success." Dr. Kayser encourages his fellow colleagues to continue learning, supporting Logan and seviserving patients with the utmost care.
