For those of you who are in hospital based/hospital owned and non-profit organizations, there will be a meeting in Chicago at the AOPA meeting this October. The purpose of this meeting is to organize such a group to help each other out and share educational ideas. With AOPA’s help, there was a meeting like this in Phoenix and several of you attended to see if there was any interest. This year, the purpose of the meeting is to see how this type of group can become organized to take advantage of all the good ideas. Please keep your eyes on the AOPA packet you will receive for additional information on this meeting.
I am no longer involved in my private practice and am now engaged in a institional setting providing O&P care. AOPA was a very valuable friend when I owned a facility and they are just as valuable to us as we engage in trying to provide O&P care in today’s society with all the challenges for reimbursement and government regulations and requirements. There are many people who work very hard in this organization and it has benefited the O&P field in many ways. For those of you starting your practices, you will find that AOPA will be a valuable friend to you also and the investment is well worth it.

I think the chat room idea is great and offer my support. It appears from the numerous responses that there is a high level of concern on these issues. I would encourage other practitioners who work for non-profit or not for profit entities to share their opinions. Thanks Steve Baxter, C.O.,L.O. Director, Dept. of Orthotics Shriners Hospital for Children, Houston
