Washington State
A unified, independent legislative voice for Physician Associates across the Evergreen State — built by PAs, for PAs.
One mission: a permanent, respected PA presence in Olympia — advancing our profession through focused, unapologetic legislative action.
The Moment
Across Washington, Physician Associates are frustrated, unheard, and ready for something different. Diluted priorities and delayed advocacy are no longer acceptable — not when our profession faces the challenges ahead.
A new statewide nonprofit advocacy effort is taking shape with a singular focus: advancing PAs through direct legislative action, grassroots organizing, and sustained relationships with lawmakers in every district.
"The legislative challenges ahead are too important, and the opportunities in front of us are too significant, for us to remain on the sidelines."
— Troy Bender DMSc, PA-C, DFAAPAWeekly Zoom meetings begin shortly. No dues. No financial commitment required.
What We're Fighting For
01
Eliminate restrictions that prevent PAs from practicing at the full extent of their training and credentials.
02
Update Washington's statutes to reflect the modern PA role — current training, expanded competencies, evolving care models.
03
Advance the formal title change in Washington so our name reflects who we are and what we do.
04
Build sustained relationships with lawmakers in every district — so PAs have allies when it matters most.
05
Launch strategic campaigns that speak with one clear, unified voice on behalf of all Washington PAs.
06
Create a permanent Olympia presence so PAs are consulted — not overlooked — when healthcare policy is written.
