About Us
The healthcare system has reached a critical juncture between patient safety, infection prevention, and quality of care. Significant changes in where care is and will be delivered are central issues. These changes represent an unprecedented opportunity for infection preventionists to accelerate progress toward the elimination of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).
It is our Vision to eliminate healthcare acquired infections and infectious disease outbreaks in the Central Florida community and healthcare facilities.
Our chapter is committed to our mission to provide a network for infection prevention and control professionals and educational opportunities and resources to enhance the knowledge and delivery of best practices in the prevention of infections.
