National Physician Assistant (PA) Week

October 2025

Cape Radiology Group would like to recognize the contributions of PAs to the field of healthcare. Each year the week of October 6th – October 12th is a time to bring awareness to the vital role they play in patient care and the importance of their occupation. National PA Day, October 6th, starts off the week and is in honor of the birthday of Dr. Eugene Stead who is credited as the founder of the PA profession. We are fortunate to have two PAs working in the interventional radiology specialty portion of our practice. We know their contributions elevate the services we provide and their commitment to excellence makes an impact each day.
