As we begin this new term at ASHT, I am inspired by the legacy of those who have paved the way for our community. Their vision and hard work have set a strong foundation, and it is now our duty to build upon it while looking forward to the future. Embracing sustainable practices is essential—not just for honoring our past, but for transforming our field into one that thrives on resilience and adaptability. Together, we can elevate the hand and upper extremity therapy profession with principles that sustain us.
Sustainability is more than just a trend; it is essential for the long-term resilience of our practices and the healthcare landscape. As leaders in the hand and upper extremity community, we must focus on organizational sustainability by fostering a culture of continuous growth and adaptation.

By creating open pathways for emerging professionals, we ensure our field remains innovative and relevant.
A healthy organization is vital for our collective success. At ASHT, we strive to build a resilient community that supports its members while encouraging new professionals to join us. Investing in continuous learning and collaboration is key to maintaining a balanced approach to our work. By nurturing one another, we can enhance our ability to serve clients and drive positive change in our field.
