Event Description

APTA Utah invites members to join a Virtual Legislative Town Hall to discuss the upcoming Utah legislative session and what it means for physical therapy.

This interactive event will walk through the legislation APTA Utah is pursuing, why these issues matter, how the legislative process works, and where member voices make the biggest impact. Whether you are new to advocacy or have participated before, this town hall is designed to provide clarity, context, and confidence.

What to Expect
We’ll cover the key physical therapy–related legislation on the horizon, explain the “why” behind APTA Utah’s advocacy priorities, and break down the Utah legislative process in a practical, easy-to-understand way. Members will also learn how and when to get involved, what the advocacy timeline looks like, and how to participate in Physical Therapy Day on the Hill.

Why Attend
Advocacy decisions directly affect patient access, reimbursement, and the future of physical therapy in Utah. This town hall will help you understand what’s happening, how decisions are made, and how your voice can make a difference—without requiring prior advocacy experience. Legislators want to hear from their own constituents, having a robust attendance allows us to directly engage with more legislators. 

Who Should Attend
This event is open to all APTA Utah members, including physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, and students.

Format
The town hall will be held virtually and will include a live presentation, open discussion, and time for questions.

This is an opportunity to connect, ask questions, and engage in meaningful dialogue as we prepare for the legislative session and Physical Therapy Day on the Hill.
