August is for Advocates!

Posted by Marsha Lawrence, PT, CHT 07/17/2014

The Congressional Recess begins August 4 and extends through September 5. During this time, members will be in their home districts, and this is a great opportunity for hand therapists to schedule a clinic visit or meeting with their legislators. In addition, this is a time many legislators hold local town halls and fundraisers. These are a perfect opportunity to discuss issues facing our profession. The Medicare Therapy Cap, sustainable growth rate reform and rehabilitation research are all crucial issues for our profession that will be debated this fall. 
The PT-PAC is offering to send APTA members to local fundraisers during this period. For more information or to request PAC funds, contact michaelmatlack@apta.org.
