Hi everyone,



I was browsing online and came across some news that North Face was offering a healthcare workers discount. Amazingly, PT, RT, all types of techs, and so forth are all listed except Occupational Therapists Can we please all advocate for our right and let them know that we are relevant and essential. It's so frustrating being undermined because we have OT'S working directly with COVID patients in hospitals and SNF'S.

I sent an email to them. Please send yours!!! Scroll all the way to the bottom to send an email & let's get OT on the healthcare list.

Edit: Let's also remember to be professional & kind since we are representing our profession 🙂 The takeaway point of this post is to advocate our role in the healthcare industry no matter the setting/circumstance. We essentially need to have voices so that we can be heard. This will help maintain/progress the future of OT.

Advocate “ for our right”?

Our right to be a healthcare essential. Like so people see us as healthcare professionals.

charity discounts on outdoor apparel is not a "right"

charity discounts on outdoor apparel is not a "right"

It's about being recognized in the community, not about getting a discount. It's like not seeing your name on the roster for a sports team you've been training for.

I didn't take it to mean that at all. It could just as well have been an article thanking every healthcare profession except OTs. I have seen many instances over the years where OTs appear to be a "forgotten" group of healthcare professionals.

Still wouldn’t be a right, and it was literally about a clothing discount
