Restore advocates for our rehabilitation professionals. Through our engagement with our national associations, we can provide the best patient care.

 This year long program will educate a class of NARA members on legislative and regulatory policy making, effective engagement with policymakers, and provide a deeper understanding of key advocacy topics to empower them to advocate confidently on behalf of rehabilitation providers.

The National Association of Rehab Providers & Agencies (NARA) represents more than 80,000+ therapists, rehab providers, and rehab support organizations across the country ranging from rehab agencies, private practices, schools and athletic organizations to inpatient and adult living and skilled nursing facilities. As members, providers have access not only to educational opportunities, but advocacy, legislative updates and other regulatory efforts directly impacting the rehabilitation industry.
