"Together we can face any challenges as deep as the
ocean and as high as the sky." - Sonia Gandhi
M
y family and I are
huge fans of Disney.
We've been on
cruises, we've seen
all the movies, and
we've taken many trips to Orlando.
One singular item does not define
an experience like visiting Disney
World. The monorail, the character
autographs, the exceptional
customer service, the perfectly
clean streets, or even the long lines
for Space Mountain - all of these
things add up, and one just knows
what a Disney day feels like.
Similarly, our work as CR and PR
professionals is not just one person
or program. Our true value lies in
our collective impact. We make
our mark by sticking together. How
do we do this?
Being AACVPR members -
Nothing demonstrates unity better
than being part of a national
professional organization. Strength
comes in numbers, and we've got
nearly 3,500 of you on board.
Attending the Annual Meeting -
We'll gather in beautiful South
Carolina this October to share, learn

impact in the coming year.

Day on the Hill (DOTH) -
AACVPR annually descends
upon Washington to meet with
legislators and keep CR and PR
on the minds of lawmakers and
lobbyists. We also make our voices
heard in local legislative offices
throughout the year.
Carissa Degen ....................................
Managing our programs and
preparing for change - The
future of cardiac and pulmonary
rehabilitation is most certainly
uncertain. While specific bundled
payment models or incentive
programs are constantly moving
targets, we do know that we must
be agile, proactive and smart. We
must be evaluating our enrollment,
adherence and operations. While
our reform experts have been
living and breathing this stuff for
months, it's imperative that you,
no matter what role you play, get
plugged in now.
You might be just one professional,
at just one program. But your
positive role to your patients
and in our collective impact is
simply immeasurable.
