WHY:

OTAC’s Hill Day offers a unique opportunity to advocate for OT practice in Colorado by engaging with our state legislators. With many new senators and representatives in the 2024 Colorado legislature, Hill Day is the ideal time to connect and educate them about the significant impact OT has on the lives of those we serve.
