Healthcare-Associated Infections Regional Meetings

 


Make your voice heard on decisions related to healthcare-associated infections! 

 


What are healthcare-associated infections?
What is being done to prevent them?
What is YOUR role in preventing them?


Each year, 1.7 million people acquire healthcare-associated infections in hospitals. 99,000 of them die. Treating healthcare-associated infections costs an additional $26 billion every year. Yet, many infections are preventable.  

Government agencies and other organizations are working to reduce these infections. They want to empower patients and their loved ones to protect themselves. But they need your help to determine how to do it.
 
The Keystone Center is the non-profit organization specializing in the design and facilitation of these meetings.

Participating Organizations:
Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO)
US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)
