THE MESSAGE

The unique team of physician and PA results in quality, cost-effective health care.

THE GOAL

Heighten public awareness of the PA profession and its contributions to health care in Pennsylvania.

HOW

Every PA has a chance to represent the profession to his or her community and its physicians, hospitals, legislators and media. This can be as simple as maintaining an informative relationship with your state representative or a member of your hospital’s board before professional changes happen. Be the expert that you are by providing education on a timely health topic with the media or by participating in a planned PSPA program.
