Patient Advocacy

Did you know that the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) and physical therapists are active in lobbying Congress to make sure that patient services remain covered under programs like Medicare? They are!

If you are interested in your voice being heard, the APTA can alert you when your involvement can make a critical difference if you sign up to be on the Patient Action List.

To find out more about how you can get involved, visit the APTA's Patient Legislative Action Center.
