In the House Health Committee, lawmakers advanced my House Resolution 531, which would designate June 2026 as Scoliosis Awareness Month in Pennsylvania.

The measure received support from members of both parties as it moved out of committee unanimously. I am looking forward to consideration by the House chamber.
