Congratulations to the faculty and staff of 8D at University Hospital, which recently went 365 days without a CLABSI (Central Line Associated Blood Stream Infection)!

For its important work, the team earned a 365 Days of Safety Award from the organization.

The 365 Days of Safety Award program recognizes outstanding practice within a patient care unit, area, clinic or department which resulted in the avoidance of patient harm and health care-acquired conditions for 365 consecutive days.
