The goal of Ross Memorial Hospital's Infection Prevention and Control program is the prevention of infections in Hospital patients and staff and the control of infections should they occur.

Handwashing
Handwashing is the single most important procedure you can do to help minimize your risk of infection. Be sure to help prevent infections from being spread by washing your hands frequently.

MANY INFECTIONS CAN BE PREVENTED BY HANDWASHING!
