Please join us in celebrating Dr. Gina Pariser, PT, PhD, recipient of the Donald H. Lange Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2026 APTA Kentucky Annual Conference in Louisville!

This prestigious award recognizes a career marked by pioneering leadership and a lifelong commitment to the physical therapy profession.
