    NACCHO is pleased to recognize the Polk County Department of Health's (DOH-Polk) Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) Team as our latest Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Champion. NACCHO's IPC Champions are passionate leaders in IPC and exemplary models for best practices. These teams advance infection prevention and control capacity, activities, guidelines, and engagement in their work as local health departments.
    In our interview with the DOH-Polk HAI Team, they share their experiences connecting with high-risk facilities throughout and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic, tips for shifting staff responsibilities and practices to address evolving HAI threats, and how they manage challenges to IPC efforts in their community.
