A Resolution recognizing April 14 through 20, 2025, as "National Osteopathic Medicine Week" in Pennsylvania.

This House Resolution (HR 144) symbolically recognizes April 14-20, 2025, as "National Osteopathic Medicine Week" in Pennsylvania. It directly affects Pennsylvanians by designating a week for public awareness about osteopathic physicians (DOs), who provide patient-centered care focusing on the whole person. The resolution urges Pennsylvanians to learn about and promote DOs, who make up over 11% of U.S. physicians and are prominent in primary care and Pennsylvania’s medical community. It has no binding effect or policy changes - it is purely a ceremonial observance.
