I plan on introducing a resolution designating March 2025 as "National Athletic Training Month" in the Commonwealth.  

Athletic trainers are employed in a variety of settings, including professional sports, colleges and universities, high schools, clinics and hospitals, corporate and industrial settings, performing arts and every branch of the United States military.  Their expertise includes providing preventative services, emergency care, clinical diagnosis, therapeutic intervention and rehabilitation of injuries and medical conditions.

Accordingly, leading organizations have joined together to raise public awareness of athletic training, and to emphasize the importance of quality health care for athletes and persons engaged in physical activity.

I hope you will join me in recognizing these important healthcare professionals by designating March 2025 as "National Athletic Training Month" in Pennsylvania.
