President's MessagePosted: February 14, 2024 As you read this, you or a colleague is likely preparing to travel to Boston, MA for the Combined Sections Meeting. I look forward to meeting you there, if so! While in Boston, please join us for the following important events. TODAY - Wednesday, February 14, 2024, at 5:30pm ET, please join us for our annual Meet and Greet. This year it is being held at the Harpoon Beer Hall, 306 Northern Avenue, Boston, MA 02210. It is about a fifteen minute walk (or a quick Uber) from the Convention Center. There will be free soft pretzels and beer! You must be an APTA Home Health member to attend this event. On Thursday, February 15, 2024, at 9:00 PM, APTA Home Health will host PT After Dark. This is a safe space to discuss some of the harder topics that we face as an association and a profession. PT After Dark will be held in the Otis room at the Westin Boston Seaport. All are welcome to join us! Finally, and most importantly, our annual business meeting will take place on Friday, February 16, 2024, at 6:30 PM at the Westin Boston Seaport in the Commonwealth Ballroom. There will be a cocktail reception, followed by our business meeting with ample time for member input. This is a members-only event. If you aren’t coming to CSM, we have plenty of other amazing things happening! Of course, you can register for the virtual CSM, offering most of the CSM educational sessions in a recorded, asynchronous learning format. Coming very soon is the first episode of Home on the Go, APTA Home Health’s new podcast. This episode features two of our CSM speakers talking about the real life implications of poor discharge communication. Also coming soon is the fourth edition of The Guide to Physical Therapy in the Home. When released, this will be a free PDF download for all members with the option to purchase a print copy. For those of you coming to CSM, safe travels! For those who are staying home and doing the valuable work that we all do every day, thank you, and be safe on the road! Sincerely, Phil Goldsmith |
