Today’s healthcare world brings constant change and new challenges for rehabilitation and therapy providers — from complex regulations and shifting reimbursement models to ongoing workforce shortages. That’s why the National Association of Rehabilitation Providers and Agencies (NARA) exists: to support, connect, and advocate for therapy professionals nationwide.
NARA is more than a membership — it’s a trusted resource and community that helps providers strengthen their practice, grow professionally, and deliver excellent care. Whether you’re an organization, an individual therapist, or new to the field, here’s why joining NARA is a smart move for your career and your patients.
Special Interest Groups (SIGs): Connect and Collaborate
One of NARA’s standout member benefits is its Special Interest Groups (SIGs). SIGs allow you to connect with peers who share your specific focus — from outpatient therapy and home health to pediatrics, compliance, and more.
SIGs offer:
- Peer-to-peer learning and support
- Sharing of best practices and real-world case studies
- Updates on regulations and clinical advancements
These groups keep you informed, connected, and engaged in your niche area of practice.
