Hey @APTAtweets - Much respect to all of you! I’ve issue the #Naloxonechallenge (have / show that your folks carry naloxone so you can save a life) everywhere I’ve been. So far you, @PennAnesthesia and @ClevelandClinic have stepped up. Anyone else?!
Dear @Surgeon_General: This January you challenged our community to be prepared to administer the anti-overdose drug Naloxone.
Today our House of Delegates adopted a motion to encourage physical therapy services to have Naloxone accessible to reverse the effects of an overdose!
Congrats to Kyle Covington, Heather RG Jennings, Dee Daley, Carmen Cooper Oguz, Carrie Cunningham, and Kai on wining elections today! Thank you for your service and leadership!!
There's something about this new logo that illustrates progress, togetherness, and seems 'in motion' to me... I also like how the triangle shape pays homage to @APTAtweets logos of the past. Just my initial thoughts without hearing its design backstory–but I like it!! 😎 #aptahod
