Training Session: Infection Prevention and Control Traveling to a Home Near You

Homes are not designed for health care, and differences in home environments can pose unique challenges and barriers for home care providers. Join MDH Project Firstline to discuss risks in portable home care and identify actions to stop the spread of infection.

30-minute training session followed by optional 10-minute Q&A designed to benefit those that interact with patients, residents, and clients and/or their environment.
