Did you know that VDH has eight regional infection preventionists (IPs) throughout the Commonwealth who are available to provide consultation and education on infection prevention and control (IPC)? Facilities can request a proactive IPC assessment.

VDH’s experienced IPs are an excellent resource to healthcare facilities across the continuum of care as well as to health department teams. For example, regional IPs work with healthcare facilities during proactive IPC assessments to help facilities identify IPC strengths and areas for improvement.
