BEYOND THE STRETCH A THERAPY PARTNERS GROUP NEWSLETTER
Therapy Partners Group, represented by Kim Kollwelter, COO, alongside the Alliance for Physical Therapy Quality and Innovation (APTQI) and other industry leaders, took on Washington D.C. as a unified team April 15 and 16 to advocate for the Stopping Addiction and Falls for the Elderly (SAFE) Act (H.R. 7618). If passed, the bill would provide seniors who have fallen in the past year an annual fall risk assessment by a physical or occupational therapist at no cost to them. Amidst the deluge of over 10,000 bills presented each year, getting the focus on healthcare and physical therapy is crucial, aiming to propel patient-centric initiatives to the forefront of legislative agendas. The SAFE Act seeks to enhance access to physical therapy services for patients nationwide, aligning closely with the people-centered ethos that TPG champions. As a company dedicated to advancing healthcare and improving patient outcomes, TPG recognizes the importance of advocating for policies that prioritize patient well-being. Kollwelter expressed the significance of the advocacy efforts, stating, "Our mission at TPG aligns seamlessly with the goals of the SAFE Act. By advocating for patient-focused legislation like this, we can ensure that individuals have access to the high-quality physical therapy services they need to thrive."
