Big emphasis that our educational marketing campaign is targeted toward healthcare providers to educate them on the pelvic referral process and to disperse information throughout the medical field. #dudpthod
With Dukelegates right around the corner, we just want to remind everyone that the Optimizing Postpartum Outcomes Act (H.R. 2480) will raise awareness of the availability and importance of pelvic health PT for postpartum women. #dudpthod

Some of the inspiration for our motion came from this Student-Led Flash Action Strategy to support pelvic health physical therapy! #dudpthod
