Tell your friends and colleagues who are not members to join us!

Your “How-To” Registration and Scheduling Guide



What is APTA Minnesota Day on the Hill all about?
◦ Physical therapy professionals and students from across the state meet with state legislators.
◦ We educate legislators on what physical therapists and physical therapist assistants do and how we are trained.
◦ We collectively advocate for:
     ◦ Improved access to physical therapy
     ◦ Appropriate policy standards written into the law for practicing physical therapy

Civics Review 
◦ We all are represented by a State Senator and State House Representative at the Capitol in St. Paul.
◦ Your State Senator and State House Representative live in your district, which is the geographic area from which they are elected. 
◦ They are the voice at the State Capitol legislating on behalf of you and your city or town.
◦ Each attendee will meet with both their State Senator and State Representative, schedules permitting, at Day on the Hill. 

Getting Prepared
These are the steps you need to take prior to Day on the Hill:

Step 1: Identify Your Legislators

  • When registering, you will be asked to provide the district where you and your legislators live. 

  • STUDENTS, consider meeting with your MN hometown legislators rather than those who represent your temporary residence.

Step 2: Register

  • Complete your registration through the button above

  • Use an email address that you check frequently, as we will send you important updates and instructions. Be sure to add mnptalegislativeday@gmail.com to your address book or list of safe senders. This assures that our communications are routed to your inbox and not your spam or junk folders.

Step 3: Finding Appointments

  • We have identified a “key contact” physical therapist, physical therapist assistant, or student in each district

  • Legislator meetings will be scheduled by the one “key contact” from each district
