International Infection Preventionist Day 2025

On International Infection Preventionist Day, we celebrate the integral role that infection preventionists (IPs) play in safeguarding your health and mine.

At Cook Hospital, Michelle Miskowitz takes on the role of IP to identify, control, and prevent infections within the hospital & Care Center.

Or, in Michelle’s own words:

“As an infection preventionist, my passion lies in protecting patients, staff, and communities by stopping infections before they start. Every protocol followed, every hand washed, and every precaution taken is a step toward saving lives and ensuring safer healthcare for all.”

Thanks for all you do to make the world a safer place, Michelle!
