Medina officials mark 30 years of Stubendec Chiropractic and Rehabilitation Centers
Summary
Medina leaders and community partners gathered to recognize Stubendec Chiropractic and Rehabilitation Centers’ 30th anniversary, presenting a city proclamation and remarks from Mayor Dennis Hanwell, County Commissioner Colleen Swadick, regional auditor liaison Tina Ludwig and U.S. Rep. Max Miller.
Medina officials and community members gathered in Medina to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Stubendec Chiropractic and Rehabilitation Centers and to present a city proclamation honoring the clinic’s decades of local service. Mayor Dennis Hanwell read the proclamation on behalf of the Medina City Council and praised the clinic’s contribution to community health and wellness.
The proclamation notes that the clinic has expanded services over the years, including a second location in Wadsworth and advanced treatments such as decompression therapy and wellness-based chiropractic care. "On behalf of the Medina City Council and the citizens of Medina, I … do hereby commend Stubendec Chiropractic and Rehabilitation Center for 30 years of excellence in chiropractic and rehabilitative care," Mayor Dennis Hanwell said while presenting the document.
County Commissioner Colleen Swadick recalled the clinic’s earlier use of a former Red Cross facility and praised the building’s renovation: "It looks so beautiful. We so appreciate your contributions to the county," she said. Tina Ludwig, regional liaison for Ohio Auditor of State Keith Faber, offered congratulations from the auditor’s office and tied the clinic’s work to the city’s Healthy Medina efforts.
U.S. Rep. Max Miller told the gathering that starting and sustaining a small business is difficult and commended the clinic’s longevity. "Starting a small business and keeping at it is one of the hardest and most challenging things that anyone can do," Miller said, adding a personal note about how chiropractic care helped him after an injury in the Marine Corps.
The clinic’s owner, who spoke without a full name in the transcript, thanked attendees and staff and recounted the business’s local history, including moves from Columbus to Medina in 1995, a Liberty Street office until 2001, 22 years at a Town Hill address and a move into the current building in May 2023. The owner asked guests to tour photos of the clinic’s progression and invited them to refreshments.
City staff members Andrew Dutton, Jared Fry of Medina TV and marketing director Barbara Dazur were identified as providing photos and video for marketing; Chet Simmons was identified as a Ward 1 council member. Event organizers also acknowledged volunteers and current and former staff by name.
The ceremony concluded with informal tours of the renovated space and refreshments. No formal votes or council actions were taken; the event was a ceremonial recognition and community celebration.
