BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE...
This “return to normal” has helped us to establish a solid foundation to build off on moving forward. We have two events to share with you as we move toward the end of the third quarter. We will be hosting a PT Day of Service Event in October and a continuing education program in December and look forward to sharing these items with you as we finalize the details in the coming month. We will also look to begin planning events for 2023 to provide you, our district, even more opportunities to connect with the members of our wonderful association.
In closing, I want to express my appreciation for each and every one of you. Caring for others is not always easy and we are seldom rewarded for a job well done. Take pride in the small successes - functional gains, restoration of independence, maintenance of a good quality of life, and helping someone return to their prior level of activity. I also encourage you to take the time to seek out events and opportunities within our association. Plug into all that is offered here at the OPTA so you can take the next step in your personal/ professional development.
Thank you for all that you do to care for our patients and advance our profession!

& APTA membership to advocate for our licensure and profession. Lastly, we hosted two CEU events this year to promote the professional growth of our members.
As our mentorship program continues to develop,
we are inviting students and young clinicians that exhibit leadership qualities to join us for our monthly conference calls and all district events.
