Protecting patients and employees from exposure to disease is a concern for all healthcare facilities like yours. It’s clear that it takes a community of healthcare workers, and patients as well, to prevent the spread of even the most common diseases.

Having a comprehensive infection prevention program and well trained staff is critical for a facility to protect staff and patients as well as maintain appropriate accreditation. A comprehensive approach involving healthcare provider education and training, and public awareness, is needed to ensure that patients are always afforded basic levels of protection against infection.
