A Resolution recognizing April 13 through 19, 2026, as "National Osteopathic Medicine Week" in Pennsylvania.
This bill designates April 13 through 19, 2026, as "National Osteopathic Medicine Week" in Pennsylvania. The resolution recognizes the contributions of osteopathic physicians in the state, noting that Pennsylvania has over 12,000 DOs and ranks third nationally in the number of practitioners. It highlights the presence of three osteopathic medical colleges in Pennsylvania and encourages the public to learn more about osteopathic medicine during this observance period. The measure is symbolic and does not create new laws or funding, but rather serves to raise awareness about the profession.
