CONFERENCE INFORMATION
Program Goals
Program Description & Goal
This is an annual regional event for Infection Preventionists and our partners to connect with one
another and share ideas. The program goal this year is to focus on the aging “baby boomers”
and our vulnerable older adults who reside not only in long term care settings but also in the
community. We are anticipating the growing number of elderly patients to bring our health care
system to the breaking point unless we can protect this population from infection and chronic
afflictions. The majority of reported healthcare-associated infections and resistant organisms
occur in older adults. Infection Preventionists will benefit from learning more about the aging
population in an evolving health care system with finite resources.
