“If you’re not out to change the world, everything else is just Mickey Mouse.” – Reginald R. Gold, D.C., Ph.C.
Dr. Reggie Gold
Reginald R. Gold, D.C., Ph.C., referred to simply yet reverently as “Reggie” by most, was a lecturer, philosopher, author and Sherman College benefactor. Gold traveled the globe spreading the chiropractic message and is responsible for inspiring hundreds, likely thousands, of people of all ages to pursue careers in chiropractic. He is survived by his wife of more than 50 years, Irene Gold, D.C.
Reggie Gold graduated summa cum laude from Palmer School of Chiropractic in 1957 and served in various leadership capacities in state and national organizations. Gold’s practice in Spring Valley, NY, was a model for chiropractic practices around the world for many years; he developed and successfully marketed a series of techniques and products to help chiropractors gain patient confidence and build their practices.
Reggie Gold assisted in the startup of Sherman College, helped establish and served as the first president of ADIO Institute which later became Pennsylvania College of Chiropractic, taught philosophy at three chiropractic colleges (including Sherman, from 1973-76) and lectured at most of the others.
