Healthcare Professionals, employed in all areas of healthcare, attended the first “Raising C. diff. Awareness” Continuing Education class being offered in allied health at the Community Colleges.

Attendees learned about C. difficile prevention, treatments, and environmental safety.

The class learned how to prevent contamination with the opportunity to practice safe infection control techniques, discuss the physical, psychological, social, and financial impact this infection causes to a patient, families, and healthcare industry and how to prevent infections in their everyday practices.

Congratulations to all the attendees of “Raising C. diff. Awareness” Continuing Education Workshop – Spring Class 2015!  Each attendee learned something new today and each has a voice – Now is the time to take the knowledge and continue raising C. diff. awareness in every area of practice.  Each student joins us in the shared goal~  to witness a decrease in newly diagnosed   C. diff. infections worldwide.

Thank you to all who attended this workshop and it was a pleasure to provide you with valid information for C. diff. prevention, treatments, and environmental safety.
