The purpose of the Infection Control Department at Madison County Memorial Hospital, is to be diligent in maintaining clean safe spaces as it relates to minimizing infections and viruses.  We do this by empowering patients, families and employees with a variety of information and tools to make informed choices regarding infections.  For example, the Infection Control Manager covers important topics such as, employee vaccines, maintaining sterile environments, and establishing and monitoring effective policies and procedures.

The Infection Control Manager coordinates the clinical infection protocols and observations to establish goals and manage the infection control outcomes of the hospital. Ultimately, assisting staff through training and monitoring in order to achieve the best possible outcome for everyone involved.
