April is Parkinson’s Awareness month. At Fyzical Durham, one of our areas of specialty is in the treatment of patients with Parkinson’s and/or Parkinsonisms. In this video feature, we celebrate the work that we’re doing in this area and the contributions that we offer this community of patients in order to maximize and maintain their function. In addition to individualized physical therapy, we also offer a Parkinson’s Cardio class that meets 3 times per week, both to enhance a patient’s rehab and to maintain their improvement once they complete their rehab course.

*URGENT UPDATE*

COVID-19 VACCINES—The 2021 buzzwords! Many people have been lucky enough to already get their 1st—or even 2nd—vaccine injections, however, we continue to hear that some of you are still searching. Here are some phone numbers and/or links to websites where you can seek appointments for getting a vaccine. Be mindful that you have to be persistent—be willing to call multiple times or stay on hold for unreasonable lengths of time, and/or fill out forms for multiple wait lists. Sign up on multiple sites and go with the one that contacts you first! Do not be choosy about Pfizer or Moderna—take whichever one you can get the soonest! You can also cross county lines to receive your vaccine.

· www.dukehealth.org Currently you will have to fill out a form to be on a waitlist

· www.unchealthcare.org or myuncchart.org Check these sites frequently to see when appointment times are posted and start the sign-up immediately because the appointments will fill up quickly. These vaccines will be given at the Friday Center in Chapel Hill.

· Granville-Vance Health Dept. 252-295-1503 These vaccines will be given in Oxford. · www.personcountync.gov/response These vaccines will be given in Oxford.

· UNC 984-215-5485

· Wake Med 919-250-1515

· NC Department of Health and Human Services www.covid19.ncdhhs.gov 1-800-232-4636

It is our hope that one of these options will enable you to receive your Covid-19 vaccine in the near future. We encourage everyone to get it!! Remember to wear your masks, wash your hands, and social distance—EVEN AFTER YOU GET YOUR VACCINE! We care about you and want you to stay well!

IMPORTANT NEWS FOR ALL MEMBERS OF THE DURHAM FYZ-FAMILY!

URGENT: Call Your Members of Congress NOW to Prevent Medicare Cuts

As the end of 2020 nears, we need your help now more than ever to fight the proposed 9% cut to physical therapy services under Medicare and make sure it does not go into effect on January 1, 2021. We need you to take a few minutes and call your members of Congress today and ask them to urge congressional leadership to include H.R. 8702, a bill introduced by Rep. Bera (D-CA) and Rep. Bucshon (R-IN), in critical upcoming end-of-year legislation.

Step One: The Ask

The ask for your members of Congress is to speak to party and committee leadership on the Medicare cut. This will be different based on the chamber and party of your legislators. Please be mindful of who you’re talking to and amend your ask accordingly. Please respond to this post if you have any questions or would like any guidance.

If your Representative is a Republican, request that they speak to Leader McCarthy, Rep. Brady, and Rep. Walden.
If your Representative is a Democrat, request that they speak to Speaker Pelosi, Rep. Neal, and Rep. Pallone.
If your Senator is a Republican, request that they speak to Sen. McConnell and Sen. Grassley.
If your Senator is a Democrat, request that they speak to Sen. Schumer and Sen. Wyden.

Step Two: Call Your Members of Congress

Your Legislator Contact Information:
(This information pertains to those who live in Durham and Granville Counties. If you live in Orange, Person, Wake, or far-southern Durham County, or elsewhere, please let us know and we will help you find the necessary information for your member of the U.S. House of Representatives.)
House: Congressman G. K. Butterfield (202) 225-3101
Senate 1: Senator Richard Burr (202) 224-3154
Senate 2: Senator Thom Tillis (202) 224-6342

Step Three: Call Script (please be mindful of the capitalized areas, where you need to customize based on the congressional office with which you are speaking).

NOTICE: Please be prepared to provide your home address to the office to confirm that you are a constituent. Some House offices will not register your message if you refuse to provide your home address.

Hello! My name is YOUR NAME from YOUR CITY AND STATE. I would greatly appreciate your help if YOUR MEMBER OF CONGRESS could please urge RELEVANT CHAMBER AND PARTY LEADERSHIP to incorporate H.R. 8702 in the upcoming continuing resolution or any legislation moving through Congress during the lame duck session in order to prevent further damage and instability during this difficult time for patients and providers.

ADD IN A TWO-SENTENCE PERSONAL STORY ON HOW THE CUTS WOULD IMPACT YOU/YOUR ACCESS TO TREATMENT/YOUR LOCAL CLINIC.

I appreciate your work and thank you for your time today.

END OF CALL SCRIPT

We appreciate your help and resilience as we continue to . We are so grateful for your advocacy on this issue that would have far-reaching and long-term repercussions to the physical therapy field.
