President's Message

Gregg Christensen, PA-C

Dear DEAPA Members and Colleagues:

As the President of the Downeast Association of Physician Assistants, I have the honor of leading our organization this year, and I thank you for your support.

Whether you're an active member of DEAPA, a "checkbook member," or a PA who is not a member, the DEAPA is working for you. The excellent practice environment that PAs enjoy here in the State of Maine is a direct result of the hard work and dedication of those DEAPA leaders who have come before us and laid the groundwork. It is up to us now to continue that work and advance our profession even further here in the State as well as nationally. We cannot afford to rest on our laurels, particularly while the Federal and State regulators, as well as the third party players, are continually tinkering with the system. If you've worked in this profession for very long, you have seen many of the changes that have occurred and realize that many more are coming. .....more
