Baker Rehab Group would like to offer a big congratulations to our very own Greg Adams for his recent appointment to the Nominating Committee of HPA’s Technology SIG. With all the votes in and counted, Greg learned on September 16, 2016 of his win in the election and new official spot on the Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee works to provide candidates for each office in the Tech Special Interest Group (SIG) as well as the Nominating Committee.
The Health Policy and Administrative Section (HPA The Catalyst) is a specialty component of the American Physical Therapy Association. HPA The Catalyst serves about 2,400 HPA/APTA members with special interests in areas including leadership, administration and management, global health, and technology in physical therapy (Aptahpa.org). Their work includes two special interest groups: Global Health SIG and Technology in Physical Therapy SIG. Greg will be serving his term as a part of the Tech SIG as they work to promote discussion and interest for the use of technology in the health services field.
In his new role, Greg will focus on advancing the field of telerehabilitation for practitioners. “Utilizing present day technology, there are numerous options available to us that would allow therapists to connect to patients through our phones, tablets and computers,” he further explains (Aptahpa.org). Greg has the opportunity to be officially sworn in on Friday, February 17, 2017 at HPA The Catalyst’s Business Meeting in San Antonio, Texas. His term as a member with the Nominating Committee will run for three years.
Again, Congratulations, Greg! We are proud of you in all that you have already accomplished and all that you will accomplish through this new role.
