A RESOLUTION
Recognizing the week of October 19 through 23, 2015, as
"National Medical Assistants Recognition Week" in

vital services provided by medical assistants in this
Commonwealth.
WHEREAS, The health of all Pennsylvanians depends upon
educated minds and trained hands; and
WHEREAS, The practice of modern medicine at the exacting
standards that society now enjoys and expects would become
impossible to achieve and maintain without the clinical and
administrative duties performed daily in physicians' offices,
clinics, laboratories and hospitals; and
WHEREAS, In the specialized world of health care, medical
assistants stand out as versatile professionals who operate as
multiskilled practitioners and perform a wide range of roles in
physicians' offices and other health care settings; and
