ASSOCIATION CONNECTS PHYSICAL THERAPISTS WITH FACILITIES THAT NEED THEM
Doctors, nurses and other first responders are on the front lines of the medical response to the coronavirus pandemic, and physical therapists can play a key role on the healthcare team, according to the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA). To facilitate that teamwork, APTA launched an online service to connect members of the physical therapy profession with facilities looking for volunteers.
