More About This School

History & Fun Facts

  • History National University of Health Sciences was founded as the "National School of Chiropractic" by John Fitz Allen Howard in 1906 in Davenport, Iowa.
  • In 1908, the school moved to Chicago, because its founder desired a scientifically more rigorous academic culture.
  • After being chartered and incorporated by the State of Illinois, the college's first home was on Congress Street across from Presbyterian Hospital.
  • In 1920, the college's enrollment had grown to such an extent that it needed a larger facility, so it purchased a five-story building at 20 N.
  • In 1927, the college established its first clinic, the "Chicago General Health Service", which remained in operation until 2008.
