We were proud to sponsor and take part in the 2026 Congressional CRT Product Expo on May 13 in Washington, DC.
Complex Rehab Technology (CRT) is more than policy. The equipment we produce plays a direct role in supporting independence, mobility, and quality of life.
Our advocacy efforts began May 12, when members from our team joined other industry colleagues on Capitol Hill for a full day of legislative office visits, meeting lawmakers and staff to talk about the importance of Complex Rehab Technology (CRT) and why appropriate access matters.
The following day we attended the CRT Expo where our team helped demonstrate and explain CRT equipment to legislators and attendees, giving them the opportunity to see and experience firsthand how this equipment supports independence and quality of life.
Moments like this help raise awareness, strengthen advocacy, and keep important conversations moving forward, all with the goal of ensuring people get the equipment they need to live more independently.
