The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) was selected for the second time as one of the "Great Places to Work" by Washingtonian magazine. APTA first received this award in October 2003.

APTA was among 55 organizations chosen for this recognition. The bi-annual award is based on interesting and challenging work, quality of employee salaries and benefits, collegial staff, employment stability, flexibility, and employee development opportunities. "I am very pleased that APTA has once again received this distinction," said APTA Chief Executive Officer Francis J Mallon, Esq. "APTA is committed to providing a high-quality work environment for our staff as we continue to make great things happen for the physical therapy profession!"

Headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, APTA employs more than 170 staff to meet its objectives in the areas of accreditation, clinical research, continuing education, legislative representation, women's initiatives, minority and international issues, practice issues, public relations, publications, and more.

The "Great Places to Work" article is in the October issue of The Washingtonian magazine, which will be on newsstands on or about October 21, 2005.

The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) is a national professional organization representing more than 67,000 members throughout the United States. The Association's efforts are directed toward serving its members and the public by increasing the understanding of the physical therapist's role in the nation's health care system and by fostering advancements in physical therapy practice, education, and research.
