September is National Suicide Prevention Month

Part 1 of 2

Suicide is a growing public health issue. According to the CDC, it is the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S. Risks are numerous and range from chronic pain and illness, to substance abuse, to prolonged and significant stress.

(Chronic pain and opioid abuse are two reasons the APTA's hashtag -- #ChoosePT -- is so powerful.)

The team here at Cedaron has worked closely with leaders of the American Physical Therapy Association since 2003, when they selected us as their sole EMR vendor from a field of 80 competitors. Our CONNECT software automatically uploads data to APTA’s Physical Therapy Outcomes Registry. You’ll understand why this is so important after you read this post from APTA CEO Justin Moore.
