This PA Week, PAs across the country are reaching out to their legislators to celebrate the profession and remind lawmakers of the vital role we play in patient care.

More than 200,000 PAs practice in every medical specialty and setting, and ours is one of the fastest-growing professions in the country. We are essential to meeting patient needs, especially in underserved communities. Yet outdated laws keep many of us from practicing to the full extent of our education, training, and experience, which limits patient access to care.

Lawmakers shape PA practice, so they need to hear directly from us. Use the form to send a message introducing yourself, explaining the PA profession, and asking your legislators to support updates to PA laws that remove unnecessary barriers to care.

Make it personal. Customize the pre-written message with a brief story about your patients, practice, or community. Personal stories are one of the most effective ways to make an impression on legislators.

It only takes a few minutes. Send your message today and help make PAs a priority in your statehouse and in the halls of Congress!
