Top Ten Reasons to Join UPCRA
- The feeling of knowing
there is someone else out there (coming from a small hospital, it is easy
to feel isolated).
- The opportunity
to correspond with many national leaders
over the years who have been instrumental in the advancement of cardiac
and pulmonary care and rehabilitation.
- Being able to stay
in touch with the political scene. There are many out there keeping abreast
of government action, keeping a watchful eye,
and keeping
us informed.
- Being a member
of a relatively small group, there’s
a great opportunity to make a difference by becoming involved in committees.
One voice is
definitely heard, and the effort extended is recognized and appreciated.
- I believe I have
an obligation to myself and to the organization to support our
profession so our combined voices can be heard, and
our jobs
can be secure.
- Having the support,
encouragement and respect of peers while accomplishing a goal
that’s important to me.
- Attending the national
convention, and learning about people and programs from all over
the country.
- Supporting others
who are working hard to keep the organization growing and progressing,
even when I am not active.
- The website keeps me informed on issues, provides information that is pertinent
and tidbits that are
fun.
- The incredible educational
opportunities that are provided at our regional and local meetings.
UPCRA maintains the
following association goals:
- To promote public understanding
of the nature of cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation programs.
- To encourage
the exchange of ideas and information between programs and
professionals within the region.
- To provide a unified
voice concerning issues important to cardiopulmonary rehabilitation.
- To
provide educational opportunities for health care professionals and other
interested persons.
