THE GENERAL COMMITTEE

    To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (H. 3326), to proclaim the month of March, 2001, as National Athletic Training Month in South Carolina, and to recognize the athletic training profession, etc., respectfully

REPORT:

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO PROCLAIM THE MONTH OF MARCH, 2001, AS NATIONAL ATHLETIC TRAINING MONTH IN SOUTH CAROLINA, AND TO RECOGNIZE THE ATHLETIC TRAINING PROFESSION AND ITS IMPORTANCE IN MAINTAINING QUALITY HEALTH CARE.

Whereas, quality health care is vital for individuals involved in physical activity, and certified athletic trainers undergo nationally regulated educational processes where they acquire skills, knowledge, and specific tasks necessary to provide quality health care to athletes and those engaged in physical activity; and

Whereas, certified athletic trainers provide many important services such as prevention of injuries; recognition, evaluation, and immediate care; rehabilitation; health care administration; education, and guidance; and

Whereas, there are more than twenty thousand certified athletic trainers in the United States who are employed in professional sports, colleges and universities, high schools, clinics and hospitals, and in corporate and industrial settings; and

Whereas, in 1990 the American Medical Association recognized athletic training as an allied health care profession; and

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, would like to raise public awareness of the importance of the athletic training profession and emphasize the importance of quality health care for athletes and those engaged in physical activity within the settings referred to above. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, hereby proclaim the month of March, 2001, as National Athletic Training Month in South Carolina, and recognize the month of March, 2001, as National Athletic Training Month in South Carolina, and to recognize the athletic training profession and its importance in maintaining quality health care.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to David E. Barnes, President of the South Carolina Athletic Trainers Association.
