Governor Proclaims Neurodiagnostic Week

NEURODIAGNOSTIC WEEK

2025

BY THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA

A PROCLAMATION

Whereas, neurodiagnostics is the practice of analyzing and monitoring central and peripheral nervous system function to promote the effective treatment of neurological diseases, injury and impairment; and

Whereas, neurodiagnostic technologists play a paramount role in the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of neurological conditions, including epilepsy, unexplained coma, sleep disorders, and spinal cord injuries; and

Whereas, neurodiagnostic technologists contribute to surgical treatment by monitoring the central and peripheral nervous system during high-risk procedures such as surgery for scoliosis, carotid artery disease, brain tumors, and spine trauma, thereby guarding against neurological complications during surgery and helping reduce risk of negative surgical outcomes such as paralysis or stroke; and

Whereas, neurodiagnostic technologists are engaged in life-long learning, are dedicated to a life of service and compassion, have the greatest respect for the worth and dignity of individuals, and are devoted to the best interest of the patient while providing the highest quality patient care;

Now, Therefore, I, Josh Stein, Governor of the State of North Carolina, do hereby proclaim April 21-26, 2025, as “Neurodiagnostic Week” in North Carolina, and commend its observance to all citizens.

In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the Great Seal of the State of North Carolina at the Capitol in Raleigh this eighth day of April in the year of our Lord two thousand and twenty-fifth and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-ninth.
