COVID-19 Town Hall: What's Happening in Your Hospital, and What's on the Horizon?
In this session, AMRPA Chairman Dr. Bob Krug, AMRPA Vice Chairman Anthony Cuzzola and AMRPA policy staff will guide an interactive discussion on the current impact of COVID-19 on inpatient rehabilitation hospitals and units, and how your hospital’s response efforts have shifted over the past 6+ months. The discussion will help guide future AMRPA advocacy efforts and better position the Association to address the “real-time” issues facing members in the current stage of the pandemic.
If you are attending the town hall, fill out this survey before Friday, October 2, 2020, to help inform our discussion and ensure we are covering the issues of highest importance to members and conference attendees right now.
