The Brant Community Healthcare system believes that each person, within his or her scope of activity, has the right to a safe and healthy environment.

The purpose of our Infection Control Manual is to provide a resource for personnel on policies and procedures concerning prevention and control of healthcare associated infections in patients and staff.

In the face of tougher federal regulations, ever-changing standards, bioterrorist threats, evolving pandemics, large-scale disasters, emerging infectious diseases, and multi-drug-resistant organisms, your hospital's IC efforts are more critical then ever before.
