Staff members at state facilities will be able to take part in a series of activities, including an educational symposium, working groups, and a pledge. The first of these educational symposiums took place on February 1 and included a panel of experts on MDROs.

This effort also includes an MDRO collaborative, bringing together acute care and long-term care facilities. The groups will share strategies and information on techniques to prevent infections.
