In June, the osteopathic profession celebrated the 150th anniversary of A.T. Still, DO, MD, flinging the banner of osteopathy to the breeze. Since June 1874, osteopathic medicine has become a distinctive and influential part of health care in the United States. Throughout the next year, The DO will continue to celebrate both Dr. Still’s visionary work and the inspiring DOs who have carried on his legacy.
