Participating in POP Month is easy, whether you’re a POP professional, a patient care facility owner or manufacturer or consumer group serving POP communities.
Celebrate POP Month in March
Celebrate POP Month by highlighting the profession and those working in the community. Here are a few ideas to spark creativity, but the possibilities are endless.
POP Month will share your organization’s name in POP Month materials and on the website. Partners must publicly commit to conducting outreach and/or hosting activities promoting the profession in March 2025.
Make the celebration community-wide by asking local officials to declare a POP Month or POP Day in March.
