This resolution, passed by the House of Representatives of the State of Rhode Island, officially designates September 21st through September 27th, 2025, as "National Surgical Technologists Week" within the state. This commemoration aims to recognize and celebrate the vital contributions of surgical technologists, who are essential members of the healthcare team responsible for preparing surgical instruments and supplies, maintaining a sterile environment in the operating room, and ensuring adherence to aseptic techniques, all of which are critical for patient safety and the success of surgical procedures. The resolution also directs the Secretary of State to send certified copies to the Association of Surgical Technologists (AST), a national nonprofit organization representing these professionals, and the Rhode Island Department of Health, encouraging all citizens to express appreciation for their dedication to patient care.
