APIC Announces 2024 Strategic Partnerships

February 6, 2024 - The Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC), the leading association for infection prevention and control (IPC) professionals, is pleased to announce their 2024 Strategic Partners. With nearly 15,000 infection preventionist (IP) members, APIC is the largest association for infection prevention and control (IPC) professionals.

The APIC Strategic Partner Program is a formal partnership between APIC, and industry partners united in the common goal of advancing the science and practice of infection prevention and control in healthcare facilities and beyond.

"We are thrilled to join forces with our 2024 APIC Strategic Partners," said APIC CEO Devin Jopp, EdD. "In partnership with our Strategic Partners, we continue to make progress in advancing infection prevention and control in diverse settings both inside and outside of healthcare. Together we can create a safer world through the prevention of infection."

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, on any given day, about 1 in 31 hospital patients, and 1 in 43 nursing home residents has a healthcare-associated infection.

The APIC Strategic Partner Program plays an important role in supporting many of the educational initiatives and services that benefit the APIC's membership. APIC's IP members are specially trained professionals, leaders, educators, and collaborators from diverse backgrounds, including nursing, public health, laboratory, and allied health fields. IPs work on the frontlines to prevent infections in healthcare systems and hospitals, long-term care facilities, clinics, health agencies, non-healthcare settings, and industry.
