During the event, APTA Arkansas proudly presented the 2025 Arkansas Senate Appreciation Award to Senator Mark Johnson in recognition of his steadfast support for physical therapists and the patients they serve. Senator Johnson sponsored SB77, now Act 103, which ensures that the Arkansas Medicaid Program reimburses for physical therapy provided in clinic-based settings.
This important legislation expands access to quality rehabilitative care, helping Arkansans improve movement, manage pain, recover from injury, and reduce long-term healthcare costs. We deeply appreciate Senator Johnson’s commitment to advancing physical therapy services and improving health outcomes for all Arkansans.
