Infection Control
The Upper Cumberland Healthcare Coalition has an Infection Control Workgroup. This workgroup meets about once each quarter to discuss current issues and topics in infection control that are relevant to all healthcare systems. It is a great opportunity to network with other facility infection control staff, and there are always learning opportunities. If you are interested in joining us, please contact us with your email information to be added to the meeting notification list.
