Payment is one of the most pressing issues facing our profession, and it was the driving focus of the APTA Payment and Advocacy Summit.📍

This summer, over 450 APTA advocates from across the country gathered in Portland to exchange strategies, resources, and ideas to advance payment reform and strengthen access to care.

✅ Attendees also helped launch the APTA Payment Advocacy Pledge — a commitment to standing up for fair payment, supporting advocacy efforts, and helping drive meaningful change across the profession.

Value-based care is no longer a future concept. It's creating new opportunities for physical therapists today. 💡

Healthcare is shifting toward value-based care, and PTs are well-positioned to demonstrate their impact across the care journey, from improving function and preventing falls to reducing hospitalizations and supporting long-term independence.

As payers and health systems look for ways to improve outcomes and reduce costs, PTs can help shape the models, partnerships, and evidence that will define what's next for care delivery.

Explore what this transition could mean for the profession and how APTA's Growing Older and Living Stronger™️, or GOALS, model is helping build the evidence.
