Tom Belmaggio, director of sports medicine at the Marshall Sports Medicine Institute, has been named to the West Virginia Secondary Schools Activities Commission Sports Medicine Advisory Committee.

This committee brings together health care professionals to guide policies that support the health and safety of student-athletes across West Virginia high school sports.

“I am truly honored and excited to be a part of the West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission Sports Medicine Advisory Committee,” Belmaggio said. “Athlete health and safety is at the core of everything I do, and being part of the group shaping those policies is something I don’t take lightly.”

We’re proud to see Tom representing Marshall Health Network and helping make sports safer for student-athletes across the state. 💚

Our second day at the WVAFP meeting at Stonewall. It’s always great to see everyone-a “family” reunion if you will.

The Foundation is happy to provide funds that support students and residents who plan to practice family medicine in West Virginia. There’s still time to stop by and see us for more information and to bid on our raffle items. If you’re not at Stonewall today, you can always visit our website FMFWV.org for more information.

In the meantime, enjoy this joke with Reilly Hendershot and Carrie Tucker.
