World PNA Day

For World Pneumonia Day on November 12, members of the infection prevention, CAPS, and nursing quality teams rounded on units at CMC with a ‘treats and trivia’ cart to spread awareness about prevention of all types of hospital acquired pneumonia.  We spoke primarily with nursing and respiratory staff, and all were welcoming and engaged with the content we shared.  A culture of curiosity is foundational to reliabily safe patient care, and the teams we encountered exhibited that Carilion value well.
