Philippine American Physiatrist Association6 days agoMaligayang Araw ng Kalayaan mula sa PAPA! 🇵🇭
Today, we celebrate the strength and spirit of the Filipino people both in the homeland and across the world.
At PAPA, we honor our roots and our heroes by continuing to serve, heal, and uplift through the power of rehabilitation medicine.
Freedom empowers us to move, to grow, and to give back—values at the heart of every physiatrist’s mission.
From every Filipino physiatrist to the communities we serve: Mabuhay ang Kalayaan. Mabuhay ang Pilipino. 🇵🇭
