This PA Week, Support PAs Making an IMPACT

PA Week is more than just a time to celebrate the PA profession — it’s an opportunity to give back and support those who are making a lasting impact in their communities. This PA Week, PAF invites the PA community to support its IMPACT Grant Program to help fund future patient-centered, community-based health projects within the United States and its territories.

Celebrate PA Week by Submitting a Proclamation!

PA Week (October 6-12) is a great opportunity to highlight the vital role PAs play in communities across the country, and we encourage you to consider requesting a PA Week proclamation from governors, mayors, and other officials!

How to Celebrate this PA Week

PA Week is right around the corner, and we can’t wait to celebrate it with you! From October 6-12, PAs show the country just how strong the PA profession is, highlight the high-quality care they provide, and advocate for their patients. This is the time to celebrate all that PAs have accomplished — and AAPA has plenty of tools to help you make the most of it!
