The House of Representatives of Vermont has introduced a concurrent resolution designating March 2026 as Athletic Trainers Month in the state. This resolution acknowledges the significant contributions of the Vermont Association of Athletic Trainers, which was established in 1982 to enhance the profession and improve health care for the community. Athletic trainers play a vital role in various settings, including professional sports, educational institutions, and military organizations, providing essential health care services such as injury prevention, emergency care, and rehabilitation.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of athletic trainers in promoting health and wellness among athletes and individuals engaged in physical activities. It highlights the commitment of the National Athletic Trainers Association and other leading organizations to raise public awareness about the profession's critical role in delivering quality health care. The General Assembly's designation of March 2026 as Athletic Trainers Month aims to honor and recognize the valuable services provided by athletic trainers in Vermont. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the Vermont Association of Athletic Trainers to commemorate this recognition.
