The Pennsylvania Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics has partnered with CDC's Project Firstline to promote effective infection prevention and control strategies in healthcare settings throughout the state of Pennsylvania.

If you have any questions related to infection prevention and control or would like to get in touch with our IPC Ambassador, please reach out to Advocacy and Communications Coordinator Aubrey D'Angelo at [email protected].
