The House Resolution introduced by Representatives Rapp, Zimmerman, Venkata, Greiner, Causer, Rowe, Stender, Rivera, and Vitali on June 10, 2025, designates the week of September 21 through 27, 2025, as "Surgical Technologist Week" in Pennsylvania. This resolution acknowledges the essential role that surgical technologists, also known as scrubs, play in the surgical team, working alongside surgeons, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to ensure quality patient care in operating rooms across the state.

The resolution highlights the growing demand for surgical technologists due to an aging population and advancements in surgical technology, which are expected to increase employment opportunities in this field. It also notes that there are 17 programs in Pennsylvania that train surgical technologists, and that the Association of Surgical Technologists designates a week in September each year to celebrate the profession. The resolution aims to recognize and honor the contributions of surgical technologists to the health and well-being of Pennsylvania residents.
