PA Billboards in Georgia

Published October 12, 2009 2:29 PM by Terri Schaefer

The Georgia Association of Physician Assistants is extending PA week to last the entire month of October. To that end, GAPA has recently placed billboards in the state to raise awareness of the personal attention patients receive from Georgia’s PAs.

In addition, GAPA has created a public service radio message and contacted media outlets throughout the state to spread the message of breast cancer awareness. The organization is also sponsoring programming throughout the month on every public radio station in Georgia.

Look for them along I-75 north of Atlanta at Delk Road, on I-75 in Macon at Mercer University Drive and along Riverside Drive, in downtown Augusta on Walton Way, and on I-516 in Savannah, near the Highway 17 exit. The GAPA message is also appearing on several digital billboards in the Macon area.

Outstanding GAPA!  Bill boards have always been too expensive for most chapters with a limited finite budge.  Your professionalism and outspoken ads are terrific.  I do hope the AAPA will take notice and consider assisting state chapters to make this coming seasonal event of OCT 6 - Future National PA DAY "billboard" week for 2010. I would encourage GAPA leaders to spread the word on how they accomplished this mass media advertisement for national PA week or month in this case. WAY TO GO GAPA!
