INSTRUMENTAL TO PATIENT CARE

INSTRUMENTAL TO YOU!

Because Sterile Processing (SP) professionals are responsible for cleaning, decontaminating, sterilizing, and distributing medical and surgical instrumentation, they are among the most vital contributors to the delivery of safe, high-quality patient care. For more than 68 years, HSPA has been providing these professionals with the broadest available range of certification and continuing education offerings, along with the unsurpassed support that only a full-service membership organization can bring.

This commitment to advancing SP knowledge, skill sets and professionalism is why nearly 61,000 members and certification holders rely on HSPA to keep them sharp, focused and abreast of the very latest standards, best practices and technological advancements impacting the SP profession.
