APA Is Moving!

As of January 2, 2018, APA will once again be located in Washington, D.C., after being housed in Arlington, Va., for the past 15 years.

Here are the new address and telephone number:

800 Maine Avenue, S.W., Suite 900, Washington, D.C. 20024.

Phone number: (202) 559-3900. APA’s toll-free numbers remain unchanged: (888) 35-PSYCH or (888) 357-7924.

Please note that APA will be closed from December 21 to January 1 while the move is under way. It’ll be back to business as usual on January 2.

In anticipation of the end of APA’s lease on its current headquarters, APA’s Board of Trustees reviewed a number of real estate options and voted in August 2015 to move back to D.C. Trustees selected the location on Maine Avenue because of the favorable terms APA was offered and its proximity to the U.S. Capitol and other agencies and organizations with which APA interacts on a regular basis. The building is part of a new development called The Wharf that features many state-of-the art amenities that are not only eco-friendly but also cost-efficient.

“When APA members are in Washington, D.C., we hope they will stop by the new headquarters and visit their professional home,” said APA Medical Director and CEO Saul Levin, M.D., M.P.A. “I am very proud of a special room that we designed specifically for members’ use—a ‘home away from home’ in which they can work or relax when in town for leisure or business. Members will also be able to view wall panels that recount APA’s history and the history of psychiatry in America and visit the Rare Books Room, where some of APA’s treasures will be on display.”

More information will be published in Psychiatric News as it becomes available. ■
