WASHINGTON., D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) reintroduced a bipartisan resolution designating this week, April 17-23, 2023, as National Osteopathic Medicine Week. The bipartisan resolution recognizes the service and dedication of doctors of osteopathic medicine (DOs) and schools of osteopathic medicine nationwide.

“National Osteopathic Medicine Week provides a chance to highlight the critical role of osteopathic medicine, innovative and intelligent practitioners, our West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine in Lewisburg, and its importance for the health of West Virginians,” Senator Capito said. “I’m proud to join a bipartisan group in introducing this resolution again, and look forward to continuing my support of those who provide these important health care services to communities across West Virginia.”
