You are invited to participate in Physical Therapy Day on the Hill at the Kansas State Capitol in Topeka on Tuesday, January 27, held in the morning.
This event is an important opportunity for our profession to come together and advocate for the value and impact of physical therapy. The morning will begin with remarks from Kansas legislators, followed by time for attendees to meet directly with their own legislators to discuss how physical therapy improves access, outcomes, and value in healthcare.
This year, we will be focusing on two key legislative priorities that directly affect physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, and the patients we serve:
- Handicap placard certification
- Point-of-care testing
Whether you are a student learning about advocacy, a clinician on the front lines of patient care, or a PTA supporting delivery of high-quality services, your voice matters. Legislators value hearing directly from those who provide care and those training to enter the profession.
No prior advocacy experience is required. Talking points and guidance will be provided, and you will be supported throughout the morning. Registration is required.
Additional details, including the agenda and logistics, will be shared with registered participants as the event approaches.
We hope you will join us in Topeka to help advance the profession of physical therapy and advocate for policies that benefit our patients and communities.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Caswell, PT, DPT
APTA-Kansas, Legislative Chair
