SVSU honors Dr. Dan Kehres, DC with Outstanding Entrepreneur Award

Saginaw Valley State University will honor businesses, entrepreneurs, faculty and alumni dedicated to enriching the business climate of Michigan’s Great Lakes Bay Region during SVSU's 6th annual Academia Awards Best in Business ceremony Friday, March 22, 2019.

Recipients of the business and alumni awards were chosen by an advisory board for the Scott L. Carmona College of Business & Management.

The Outstanding Entrepreneur Award will be presented to Dr. Dan Kehres, DC, owner and chiropractor at Kehres Health &Chiropractic. The award honors individuals whose successes include both supporting the local community and business growth throughout the region.

Since moving to the Great Lakes Bay area in 2010 and opening his first office in Saginaw, Dr. Kehres has since opened a total of five offices with additional locations in Bay City, Midland and Mt. Pleasant. He has also been the Team Chiropractor for SVSU Athletics since 2015, becoming the first time SVSU has added a chiropractor to their sports medicine staff.

In 2018, he opened Kade Wellness, a wellness-based distribution company that covers the state of Michigan, with a business partner.

With the mission of making Michigan a healthier place, Dr. Kehres has donated his time teaching hundreds of health classes at a variety of businesses, schools, community events and more. He has mentored many undergraduate students interested in chiropractic and is a preceptor site for graduate chiropractic students.

Passionate about helping people make their health a priority, Kehres Health & Chiropractic offers more than chiropractic – they also provide nutritional consults, free health classes, massage therapy and many other health resources.

“It has always been my goal to make my community a healthier place, and this community has been very supportive whenever I open a new business,” said Dr. Kehres. “It is an honor to be recognized with this award.”

Dr. Kehres is a past recipient of a RUBY Award, the Community Champion Award from the Michigan Association of Chiropractors in 2016 and one of the first chiropractors as a member of the Saginaw County Medical Society.
