History of PT in the United States and Nebraska

During the fall NPTA State meeting in Omaha we celebrated our association's 60th birthday since the original Charter to practice physical therapy in Nebraska was adopted in 1951. A table display was present during the state meeting containing artifacts and an historic narrative of physical therapy as told through stamps. In response to a request made during the business luncheon Chapter President Kirk Peck created a short booklet depicting the progression of physical therapy through the years based on the stamp collection that was on display.

Jayne Snyder Scholarship Fund Receives $25K From APTA Board
The APTA Board of Directors has made a $25,000 donation to kickstart fundraising for the Jayne Snyder Scholarship Fund. The scholarship to honor Jayne's contributions to APTA, the profession, and the community will acknowledge and reward physical therapists who are single mothers or fathers who exhibit the determination and desire to return to school to obtain a professional or postprofessional degree from a physical therapist (PT) education program. Scholarships will be granted once there is enough corpus in the fund, so the focus right now is on fundraising to build the fund. Please consider making a donation to the Jayne Snyder Scholarship Fund. Donations can be sent to the PT Fund at 1111 N Fairfax St, Alexandria, VA, 22314. Please write the check to "PT Fund" and in the Memo line write "Jayne Snyder Scholarship Fund."
