Infection prevention and control

The Infection Prevention and Control Program is responsible for working with employees, visitors and patients to minimize hospital-acquired infections.

To control the spread of infections we use routine practices such as:

  • handwashing
  • environmental cleaning
  • sterilization of equipment
  • single use of supplies
  • education
  • additional isolation precautions

If you have any questions about infection rates or about our hospital's Infection Prevention and Control program, please contact the Manager, Infection Prevention and Control at 416-323-6400 ext. 3102.
