PA ACTION ALERT!

In a speech before the American Medical Association President Obama once again restated his commitment to building America’s primary care workforce of “physicians and nurse practitioners”
– omitting PAs from the discussion. An action alert
was sent to all PAs asking them to send a message to President Obama, to let him know that PAs are listening --
and that we are gravely concerned that we’re not hearing a
similar commitment to physician assistants.
The AAPA wants to call your attention to the alert, because – a
as constituent organizations – your involvement is critical.
How can you help? Let resident Obama know that PAs are there to help!! It is easy to do: Click HERE to view the action alert and
generate a message to the President. Or log on to AAPA’s Legislative Action Center to find action alerts on all of AAPA’s legislative priorities and additional information on how
PAs can get involved. And you can also encourage
all PAs to take action as well. PAs are the future of health care,
and must make their voices heard. Tell lawmakers and the administration that physician assistants are key to ensuring a truly successful and reformed health care system.
Please get involved today.
Many thanks for your advocacy
in action!
