Education

Staff and volunteers are provided infection control best practice training and education through a variety of forums such as orientation, policies and procedures and
continuous point-in-time education. There are also various opportunities for patients and visitors to engage in infection control awareness while at our facility. We reference best practices guidelines and most current research to provide high-quality education.
