Project Firstline

NACCHO is proud to be a partner of CDC’s Project Firstline, a comprehensive infection control program designed to help prevent the spread of infectious diseases in U.S. healthcare settings. Project Firstline is committed to preparing the public health workforce and frontline healthcare workers to protect themselves, their patients, and their communities from infectious disease threats.

By offering resources, training and technical assistance for infection prevention and control (IPC)—a set of practices which aim to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases, including hand hygiene, personal protective equipment (PPE), and vaccination—the initiative is designed to help every frontline healthcare worker gain IPC knowledge and confidence.
