VALA supports HB2489. Expanding the scope of practice for physicians assistants may alleviate some of the issues experienced by seniors residing in assisted living communities in getting appropriate treatment plans and paperwork from the medical provider as required by regulations. Having physician assistants with an expanded scope of practice may help reduce wait times for medical appointments by having additional providers which would improve the overall care for seniors.
