FACT: California has an access to care crisis for animal healthcare.
Animals are not getting the physical rehab care they need.
And we exist to change that through legislation!
Animals are not getting the physical rehab care they need.
And we exist to change that through legislation!
- We are a grassroots Coalition comprised of Veterinarians, Physical Therapists, Registered Veterinary Technicians, and Consumers. (i.e. a Coalition of ALL stakeholders)
- We believe that Veterinarians should be given the option at their discretion to refer their animal patients to qualified Physical Therapists and provide indirect supervision. If referring out to a qualified PT is in the best interest for their animal patients, the Vet should be afforded that option.
- This would help to increase access to care for more animals needing PT/rehab services and would serve to promote professional unity to advance our shared field.
- As it stands now, animals are not getting the care they need because of overreaching and hurtful regulations that were enacted in 2022 by the California Veterinary Medical Board.
WE HAVE ASSEMBLYMEMBER JOSH LOWENTHAL (D-LONG BEACH) TO THANK FOR RECOGNIZING THAT ACCESS TO REHAB CARE BY QUALIFIED ANIMAL PTS IS A REAL ISSUE.
AB 814 IS THE REAL SOLUTION.
proudly Supported by all the
industry leaders!
