As patient demand rises and provider shortages worsen, the case for PA practice modernization is urgent. We are grateful to have a Governor and Senate & Assembly health committee chairs who acknowledge this crisis.

[NYSSPA @NYSSPA]

PAs work autonomously and remain deeply committed to team-based care. NYSSPA is seeking that decisions about how PAs practice are made at the practice level, not dictated by rigid, outdated state laws. https://t.co/OS7peMG4qX #PAsofNY #NYSBudget

[NYSSPA @NYSSPA]

At the end of the day, this is about patients.

When PAs can practice to the full extent of their training, patients benefit from faster diagnoses, shorter wait times, and better outcomes.

Outdated laws shouldn’t dictate modern care.

Updating PA practice laws will improve efficiency, reduce system strain and cost, and expand access without compromising quality. Policymakers have an opportunity to put patients first while enhancing their timely outcomes.

[NYSSPA @NYSSPA]

In many communities, especially rural and underserved areas, access to care is limited.

PAs help bridge that gap, expanding capacity and ensuring patients don’t have to wait weeks or travel miles for care.

#PAsforPatients

[NYSSPA @NYSSPA]

PAs are essential members of the healthcare team, working autonomously with physicians to deliver high-quality, coordinated care.

Strengthening this model ensures patients benefit from the full expertise of the care team.

Healthcare shouldn’t be delayed by unnecessary paperwork.

Modernizing PA practice laws in New York removes administrative barriers and allows providers to focus on what matters most: patients. Less red tape means faster, more efficient care.

[NYSSPA @NYSSPA]

Across New York, many patients rely on PAs as trusted primary care providers and essential members of their healthcare teams.

By modernizing the PA profession, lawmakers can strengthen access to care for families statewide.

New York can no longer afford to underutilize more than 20,000 PAs because of outdated and unnecessary administrative rules.

As patient demand increases and provider shortages worsen, the need to modernize the PA profession is urgent.

Today, we take a moment to remember the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

“If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”

[NYSSPA @NYSSPA]

There are over 23,000 PAs across NY providing high-quality care to patients of all ages, practicing in every specialty, & managing treatment for all New Yorkers. This year, we ask the NYS Legislature to pass A.7988 / S.7981 to modernize the PA profession & expand access to care.
