Sterile Processing Week Proclamations

Proclamations from state governors are a great way to get support for the Sterile Processing profession during Sterile Processing Week! Sterile Processing Week (formerly named "International Central Service Week") recognizes the committed specialists that fill Sterile Processing departments and make a difference in patient care. Held annually, Sterile Processing Week starts with the second Sunday in October.
