Alyson Stover, MOT, JD, OTR/L, BCP Keynote: What If OT IS the Healthcare System? What if the next great healthcare innovation isn’t a new device—but a different kind of provider? This keynote explores occupational therapy as the foundation of a new, prevention-driven healthcare system. From reducing the complexity of illness to creating environments that support participation, Occupational therapy professionals are leading a quiet revolution—especially in rural and community settings. With a focus on health promotion, public health collaboration, and systems change, let's embrace our role in shaping a healthier, more cost-effective future—one that sees OT not as a service to refer to, but as the system to build around. |
