Fulton chiropractor at health clinic that burned down announces retirement

FULTON, Mo. (KMIZ)

A chiropractor of a Fulton health clinic that burned down in April announced his retirement in a Thursday social media post.

Total Health and Rehabilitation Center -- in the 700 block of South Business 54 in Fulton -- burned down in a fire on April 29. No injuries were reported. The cause of the fire was “undetermined” after an investigation by fire marshals, according to a May 1 email from then-Fulton Fire Chief Kevin Coffelt.

“After completing a thorough investigation, the fire cause has been listed as undetermined. They were not able to rule out electrical in the attic as a possible cause,” the email reads.

Dr. Brian Hoselton previously said the future of the center was unknown, but announced his retirement on Thursday. The center’s Facebook page says it is permanently closed. The post says the center’s three employees have found new jobs.

“After much prayer and contemplation, I am announcing my retirement from the Chiropractic profession,” the post says. “My wife and I moved to Fulton in 2001 and began practice while raising a family here.  Fulton Chiropractic Clinic became Total Health Center and treated thousands of patients over the years.

“Our office was blessed to be recognized as Chiropractor of the year 7 times, a Who’s Who inductee and Fulton’s Top Healthcare provider. We thought our patients were special and went above and beyond to care for them. Our whole office had a lot of fun with patients and got to know many of them as friends and consider them family. I will forever be grateful to the loyal patients and the friends I have made over the years.  And I am so appreciative of putting your trust in me with your healthcare needs.  I can never reach out to the thousands – but please know that you all have my prayers going forward and I will miss all of you.”
