Advocacy
During the COVID-19 pandemic, athletic trainers have stepped up to help their communities and local health care systems in multiple ways, including screening, telemedicine and infrastructure. NATA will share what athletic trainers everywhere are doing to care for their patients, communities and themselves during this time.
It could be a picture of your pet, your family, your Instagram-worthy dinner or a selfie. Supporting the NATA Research & Education Foundation is as easy as snapping one of those pictures.

Editor’s note: Throughout June, NATA News will share content written by members of the NATA LGBTQ+ Advisory Committee related different facets of LGBTQ+ health and patient care.
