It's not the highest you can go in healthcare leadership, but it's definitely the pinnacle of the Sterile Processing career ladder. We wrap up this record-breaking Season 23 "The Roles that Make Us Great" with our episode dedicated to Vice Presidents & AVPs in Sterile Processing! Join Hank Balch & Bobby Parker as they discuss why SPD technicians and every other member of the department should care who their VP is and what they do, even if you've never met them.
