“Have you ever looked at your CAUTIs by race?” Tania N Bubb shares the tragic loss of her mom in the first wave of the #pandemic as a sobering example of #healthequity challenges in the US. We need to look beyond SIRs & rates, dig deeper into race, age & other characteristics. 👏

“Sometimes we focus who we are not, instead of who we are. You’re a bad mamma jamma!” Simon T. Bailey at #APIC24 Everyone has been waiting for Simon’s infectious inspiration since our virtual APIC conference in 2021!

Presenting education to local APIC chapters is a large part of my job Diversey 🤓 Listening to Simon T. Bailey at #APIC24 makes me think I really to need to develop my own signature chuckle. You just can’t be sad listening to Simon! Fun is essential to #adulteducation

Alaska IPs crushing their Implementation of ICRA 2.0 through Education and Automation! Funny, engaging, knowledgeable, and I could not be prouder!!!! 🐻💞 #APIC24 Aayushi Chheda buglady1711

We are SO PROUD of APICGL members Chelsea Ludington & Renee Brum on their state & local #publichealth IP collaboration! Excellent engagement with the audience to identify ways to build bridges! #APIC2024 #infectionprevention

Kudos to Michigan HHS Dept and its stellar HAI prevention team! Amazing to learn how a state health dept can share #infectionprevention education in local health depts. It was truly a labor of love & dedication but resulted in lasting partnerships, & ultimately, a healthier Michigan!

get rid of your inner critic - ⁦Lisa Sun⁩ #apic24 Confidence is a mindset and a choice before it’s a behavior @apic #confidence

Why does #environmentalservices compensation matter to IPs? Because EVS colleagues can work at fast food restaurants & big box stores for significantly more. How can we say that EVS is critical to #infectionprevention but pay them barely enough to feed their families? #APIC24

And PLEASE don’t forget that cleaning tools are a part of healthcare linens! What are you using to “clean” and disinfect? #APIC24

You’ll recognize Our @apic faithful photographer - Armando- He’s been with us for many successful conferences! #apic24 @apic

Want to know a few kitchen-related accreditation citations from a health system? Timothy Bowers (He/Him) shares experiences. Kitchens are scary to IPs of all levels, happy to see a session dedicated to food & kitchen #infectionprevention. #APIC24

Thanks Armando! You keep coming back, so you must love these IPs!! 📸

“If you don’t want cholera in 1800s, just drink beer.” 😂 Alex Sundermann, DrPH is doing a phenomenal job teaching us how #wholegenomesequencing can move #infectionprevention outbreak investigations into the current century! John Snow would be proud! #APIC24
