    Good News!

    Finally, some good news to share about the way media often incorrectly identify our PA title:

    My local paper ran a story today about a bill that would require parents to have a health care provider (nurse practitioner, MD, or physician's assistant) sign an exemption if they decline vaccinations for their children. I wrote the author of the article today, and he responded TODAY with "thanks for the correction, I made the change." Wow! A nice change from the norm and a step in the right direction! Now if they could only write: physician associate
