Our team is excited to be active on the APIC Nebraska board, giving us another way to support IPs across the state.

Today, they were in Grand Island at the APIC Nebraska educational event and Lacey and Jenna presented on AU/AR Data through the NHSN system.

Shout out to all the IPs that were there learning today!
