Vision for UPCRA: To continue to see it grow as an association. We have had great leadership in the past and our association continues to get stronger and stronger. I would like to involve more of the smaller programs into the association. I think with networking with each other that we have nowhere else to go but up. I would like to see our association continue with a strong voice regarding important issues related to cardiopulmonary rehabilitation to state and federal agencies. I would like to see our association continue to promote an understanding of the nature of our services and to increase awareness of our organization.
