Kaiser accepts the proposal.
Using Peter Edgelow’s master thesis for guidance, Eileen Vollowitz submits a proposal for a post professional manual therapy program.
The Community Benefits Division of Kaiser Foundation Health (KFH) funds the program in 1979 for one year.
Barbara Stevens and Linda Van Hoesen, like Peter Edgelow, had completed manual therapy training in Adelaide, Australia. They, along with Norwegian-trained Eileen Vollowitz, develops the initial program curriculum.
