Giaimo, DO, MACOI, FCCP, president of the AOA. “This resolution recognizes the many contributions of osteopathic physicians to the United States health care system throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as our emphasis on a whole-person approach to health care delivery in communities across the country that focuses not just on caring for people when they are sick but on keeping them well.” The resolution, which was adopted by the United States Senate by unanimous consent, recognizes the significant role that DOs have had in the United States health care system since the founding of osteopathic medicine, and the commitment of DOs and osteopathic medical students to improving the health of their communities.
