OAPA Recognizes Senator Roegner for Ongoing Legislative Support

Legislative Support is Worth Celebrating!

During her recent OAPA Annual Conference presentation "Policy, Progress, and PAs: Advancing Our Legislative Agenda in Ohio," Government Affairs Chair Josanne Pagel announced OAPA leadership's honoring of State Senator Kristina D. Roegner.

The Special Recognition of Senator Roegner reads as follows:

On behalf of the members of the Ohio Association of Physician Assistants, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for your exceptional support of the PA profession. Your leadership has made a profound impact for the more than 6,000 Ohio PAs and their patients.

Specifically, your support of the Physician Assistant Licensure Compact, and similar legislation for other professions, has been instrumental in advancing healthcare in Ohio.

Your support has been a beacon of hope and progress, ensuring that our shared goal of quality, cost-effective, accessible healthcare becomes a reality for all Ohioans.

In appreciation, we are pleased to present you with this special recognition. Thank you for your support, and we look forward to future collaboration with you.

Senator Roegner was invited to the conference to receiver her recognition, but she respectfully declined due to a family schedule conflict. She was kind enough to send her appreciation via these brief video remarks:

OAPA thanks Senator Roegner for her support of OAPA's legislative initiatives. Learn more about her efforts on the PA Licensure Compact in this article. And, if you are a constituent of Senator Roegner (Ohio's 27th Senate District), we encourage you to reach out to her office and share your appreciation as well.
