Open Letter to the Massage Therapy Community

Letter to Health & Human Services Commissioner Albert Hawkins

Statement - Council Meeting July 9, 2008

The DSHS Council made a grave error in voting to move the draft proposal forward. Our work will continue on this issue until we effect the kind of change needed.

We have made clear all of the challenges and violations on the part of DSHS Staff - yes - violations. We will continue to point out the errors and inconsistencies until someone along the way finally gets it and cares enough to do something about it. I still have hope in the system.

Keep checking back with us periodically for updates on what to do, where to go, and who to call.

Sincerely,

Raul S Flores, LMT, MTI
