Hospitals are rightfully expected to get you better but that's not always the case. Sometimes people are picking up infections, from pneumonia to antibiotic-resistant staph (MRSA), while under treatment for other health problems, or even while just in the hospital having a baby. That's a situation that could, and should, be completely avoidable.
Kimberly-Clark Health Care is on the forefront of protecting patients from Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) and has put together a site dedicated to that prevention called HAI Watch: Not on My Watch. The site has information for both healthcare professionals and healthcare consumers.
I would like to ask for your help getting the word out on The National Networker. Here's a microsite which explains everything. Please use any of the images, logos, videos, etc, on your site:

Please let me know if you have any questions and if you are able to post, I'd really appreciated it if you'd send me the link.
Thank you,
Barbara
