Penn State Berks Kinesiology is the first Commonwealth campus to apply and receive recognition from Exercise is Medicine separate from University Park thanks to the hard work of faculty member Helen Hartman and others. In March 2016 they were recognized as a bronze level EiMOC campus, and in 2017 achieved silver level recognition.
