Before hiring the Lockhart Group, we struggled to stay updated on legislative happenings because of our busy schedules as working professionals. The Lockhart Group keeps us informed about legislative activity that can affect our organization.

With the assistance of the Lockhart Group, we successfully passed groundbreaking optimal team practice legislation for physician assistants that changed physician supervision requirements to allow more independence for experienced PAs. This was a difficult task because of aggressive opposition from physician groups. The Lockhart Group helped us create a strategic plan and gather support across the House and Senate so that we could pass Senate Bills 27 and 28. Utah was one of the first states to enact these changes and is considered a pioneer in optimal team practice for physician assistants
