U.S. Sen. Blanche Lincoln will visit UCA on Thursday to tour the Physical Therapy Center and attend a reception with students and faculty.
UCA has one of the leading physical therapy programs in the nation.
Lincoln has been an important congressional supporter of physical therapy, and she is the lead Senate sponsor of a bill to allow patients to have direct access to physical therapy through Medicare.
Representatives from the American Physical Therapy Association and the Arkansas Physical Therapy Association will come to UCA for Lincoln’s visit.
