Recognizing a Leader in Respiratory Care and Education
Dr. Kevin Collins, RRT, was the recipient of our Day on the Hill Scholarship. Dr. Collins is a Certified Asthma Educator, Registered Respiratory Therapist, and Registered Pulmonary Function Technologist. He is looking forward to the opportunity to return to DC to help lobby for advancement of the cardiopulmonary rehab industry — demonstrating both his expertise and commitment to advancing patient outcomes.
About the LSI Day on the Hill Award
Each year, LSI proudly presents the Day on the Hill Award during the AACVPR Annual Meeting to honor individuals who demonstrate exceptional leadership and advocacy in advancing the fields of cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation. This recognition celebrates professionals who go above and beyond to strengthen patient care, influence policy, and champion the mission of AACVPR on Capitol Hill and beyond.
The Day on the Hill Award, presented annually by LSI, recognizes individuals who demonstrate a deep commitment to advancing AACVPR’s advocacy initiatives. Each recipient represents the collaborative spirit of the rehab community — professionals who work tirelessly to promote policy awareness, improve patient access to services, and strengthen the future of cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation.
At LSI, we believe advocacy is essential to progress. By honoring leaders like Dr. Collins, we celebrate the power of education, action, and connection in driving positive change across the cardiopulmonary care continuum.
