Back to School Campaign
Among the millions of uninsured Americans are significant numbers of children who are currently eligible for publicly funded health care coverage programs but are not enrolled. Over half of uninsured children are Hispanic or African American. Covering Kids & Families works to enroll uninsured children and adults who are eligible for public health care coverage. The program operates through statewide projects and more than 140 local community projects. AAPA is a national partner of Covering Kids & Families. To learn more about the program and how to become involved, visit the campaign's Web site.
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) Awareness
The Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) Coalition is comprised of diverse organizations, including AAPA, committed in raising public and clinician awareness of peripheral arterial disease. The coalition provides PAs and other health professionals with access to clinical practice tools and educational resources to help improve the diagnosis and treatment of PAD. This September, there will be the launch of a nationwide PAD public awareness campaign and the release of new educational resources to help improve the diagnosis and treatment of PAD.
