P.A.R.T. USA brings together chronic pain patients, families, caregivers, advocates, healthcare professionals, and supporters from across the United States who believe that people living with pain deserve dignity, individualized care, informed consent, and a meaningful voice in the policies that affect their lives.

MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT
What It Means to Be a P.A.R.T. USA Member
Membership connects you with P.A.R.T. USA and supports our ability to demonstrate that real people across the country stand behind the need for meaningful patient protections and responsible healthcare policy.
Collective Advocacy
By becoming a member, you understand that P.A.R.T. USA may speak on behalf of its membership collectively in advocacy, educational, legislative, regulatory, and public-policy settings.
This may include communicating with lawmakers, government agencies, medical and pharmacy boards, policymakers, healthcare stakeholders, the media, and the public regarding issues consistent with the mission of P.A.R.T. USA.
Your Individual Authority Remains Yours
Membership does not authorize P.A.R.T. USA to make medical, financial, legal, or personal decisions for you.
P.A.R.T. USA cannot sign contracts in your name, act as your individual attorney, establish a doctor-patient relationship, or make healthcare decisions on your behalf.
No Guaranteed Outcome
Advocacy can influence public policy, but no organization can guarantee the outcome of legislation, rulemaking, regulatory action, litigation, medical treatment, pharmacy decisions, insurance decisions, or government action.
P.A.R.T. USA works for systemic change while recognizing that many decisions ultimately remain in the hands of independent lawmakers, agencies, courts, healthcare professionals, pharmacies, insurers, and other outside parties.
Membership Is Voluntary
Membership is voluntary. A member may choose to discontinue membership according to the account and membership procedures available through P.A.R.T. USA.
COMMUNITY STANDARDS
A Community Built on Respect
The Member Community is intended to provide a useful and respectful environment where people can communicate, learn, organize, and support constructive advocacy.
Respect Other Members
Members are expected to communicate respectfully, even when experiences or opinions differ.
Protect Member Privacy
Information shared within a private member space should not be publicly distributed without the permission of the person who shared it.
No Harassment or Abuse
Harassment, threats, intimidation, impersonation, or abusive behavior toward members, volunteers, leadership, or guests is not acceptable.
Use the Community Responsibly
Member resources and communication systems should be used for legitimate community, educational, organizational, and advocacy purposes.
YOUR PRIVACY
Membership Does Not Mean Giving Up Your Privacy
P.A.R.T. USA treats membership information as private organizational information. We do not sell or rent membership lists or personal information for outside marketing.
Members control the personal information they choose to share in community profiles, directories, discussions, and member-to-member connections, subject to the options made available through the community.
Information may be disclosed where legally required through valid legal process or where otherwise required by law.
Membership and Story Permission Are Separate
You are not required to submit your personal story in order to become a P.A.R.T. USA member.
Becoming a member does not automatically give P.A.R.T. USA permission to publish, distribute, quote, identify, or publicly use your personal healthcare story.
If you later choose to share your story for advocacy, education, research, testimony, media, or other organizational purposes, authorization for that use will be handled separately.
Joining P.A.R.T. USA is membership. Giving permission to use your story is a separate choice.PLEASE UNDERSTAND
Advocacy and Education — Not Individual Medical or Legal Advice
P.A.R.T. USA is an advocacy and educational organization. Information provided through the website, Member Community, organizational materials, meetings, discussions, or other activities is not a substitute for individualized medical or legal advice.
Membership does not create a doctor-patient, attorney-client, therapist-patient, pharmacist-patient, or other professional relationship between a member and P.A.R.T. USA.
