Virtual Day on the Hill

Each year, the AACVPR organizes Day on the Hill (DOTH) to show the power the AACVPR community holds when it gathers together to advocate for the cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation services. Thank you to our over 120 attendees who made Virtual Day on the Hill 2021 a success!

The two main priorities to focus on will be:

SOS: Sustaining Outpatient Services Act
Virtual Supervision and Virtual Delivery of CR/PR/ICR

Our success relies on you and your fellow state CR/PR professionals’ continued dedication to advocacy. Ensure your voice is heard by registering for DOTH today, and start preparing everything you'll need to meet with your Senators and Representatives.
