A message from our president

It is with sincere pleasure that I continue the role of President for 2008. On behalf of myself and the NNJ APIC Chapter board members, I welcome you to our chapter website and encourage you all to attend our monthly meetings. The mission of the NNJ APIC chapter is to promote the practice of infection control and prevention across the continuum of health care. Our organization believes that through education, research, collaboration, consumer advocacy and the timely sharing of information, we can positively influence outcomes in the communities we serve.

Our infection control and prevention professionals are a great resource to the health care community as well as to each other. This organization excels in the arena of networking and data sharing, in a field that is challenging and ever-changing. For both newcomers into the field or persons looking simply to expand their knowledge base, there is something to be gained from belonging to this organization.

Now, more than ever, we can benefit from a cohesive, collaborative organization such as APIC. With increasingly stringent regulations from entities such as CMS, The Joint Commission and from within our own state, we must continue to work together for a collective influence in the field of infection prevention and control.

-Kimberly Simon RN, BSN, CIC
