“It was exciting and an honor to our profession to be recognized at the highest level of state government,” said Greco. “It shed a light on the role we play in making people aware of their own health and the importance of our skills in helping patients resume a normal life after a cardiac or pulmonary event.”

Greco is the vice president for the Pennsylvania region of the Tri-State Society for Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation. The group sponsored the trip to Harrisburg, where they were also recognized on the Senate floor by State Senator Lisa Baker (R ). Senator Baker and State Representative Mike Peifer (R ) also helped facilitate similar proclamations from the House and Senate.
