 Hill Day

Louisiana OT Hill Day

February 2023

LOTA's Hill Day is scheduled for Monday, April 24th. Our intentions are to make a big scene at the beginning of session. We want all the legislators to know what occupational therapy is and who we are before our bills go for review in committee - and then hopefully for voting in the chambers!

We are hoping that attendees of Hill Day will also purchase a shirt that unifies us and brings attention to our cause! Please use the links below to register for this event and order your shirt. If you have more questions, please email me for more information!

And once again,

Thank you for being active members! It's people like you that get the hard stuff done!

What is OT Hill Day?


LOTA holds an annual Hill Day at the Capitol each Spring. Our lobbyist secures our spot in the Rotunda when our legislators are in session. LOTA members join in the Rotunda and meet with our legislatures to discuss current bills/issues involving OT as well as to remind our legislators why occupational therapy is vital to the lives of so many of their voters. 

Thanks to our lobbyist we are able to speak to our our senators and representatives about proposed bills and the importance of OT to their voters in our Louisiana community. It is encouraging when our legislators are very familiar with what OT entails (having personal stories of their own to share) and very appreciative of our profession. However, not all are familiar with what we can provide and we're grateful for this opportunity to share our passion with our legislators. 

We're also very appreciative to the legislators who take time out of their day to meet with us, share their stories, and allow us to share OT.
