Surgical Services can be an intimidating area for Infection Prevention team members who don’t have experience working in the PeriOperative environment. How can a background in Public Health and Epidemiology make you a resource to your sterile processing department? We find out today, as Garrett Hollembeak shares his experiences as a Manager of Sterile Processing with a unique background in Public Health and how he has taken an epidemiological approach to leading the department.
