Facility Challenge
Achieve 100% APTA membership among your facility's physical therapists
and physical therapist assistants and gain recognition for your facility

Let health care consumers know that the PTs and PTAs within your
facility are committed to a high quality of health care as evidenced by
their pledge to uphold the Association's Code of Ethics.

Membership?
Simply download the application form (for new entries) or the renewal form (for previously certified
