International Central Sterile Service Week (now often called Sterile Processing Week) recognizes the committed specialists who fill Sterile Processing departments and make a positive difference in patient care. Held annually, this week of celebration starts on the second Sunday in October and it is a dedicated time to honor the professionals who ensure that medical instruments are cleaned, disinfected, and sterilized for patient safety.   HOIC is grateful for every Sterile Processing professional.

This year’s theme, Rediscover the Magic, invites attendees to be inspired and enlightened as we explore the latest innovations in perioperative nursing practice.
