Volunteer
APTA and APTA Maryland want to Help you Get Engaged
We are building a community that advances the profession of physical therapy to improve the health of society. Your efforts impact the lives of patients, students, and colleagues on a daily basis. Your engagement in the conversation and the work of this association is how we move this profession forward. Build your community by volunteering. You are APTA.
Every October we celebrate National Physical Therapy Month to raise awareness about the many benefits of physical therapy. It’s also a great opportunity to appreciate what PTs, PTAs, and students do to transform lives. NPTM is the perfect time for service events such as PT Day of Service. Learn how you can be a part of of APTAMD’s winter clothing drive for local homeless shelters throughout the state.
The theme for this year is: The Value of Physical Therapy
This year’s resources include assets members can use to amplify the findings from APTA’s landmark report, “The Economic Value of Physical Therapy in the United States.”
