SKOKIE, Ill. – Jan. 19, 2022 — UMF Corporation announced a strategic partnership with the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) for 2022. APIC is the leading association for infection prevention and control professionals, with more than 15,000 infection preventionist members.

“UMF’s strategic partnership with APIC is a testament to our commitment to reducing preventable healthcare associated infections (pHAIs) in healthcare and adopting these products and processes to ensure safe environments in hospitality, education, and beyond,” said UMF Corporation CEO George Clarke. “We are looking forward to helping strengthen APIC’s efforts to create a safer world through the prevention of infection.”

The APIC Strategic Partner program establishes long-term relationships with industry partners united in the common goal advancing the science and practice of infection prevention and control in healthcare facilities and beyond. APIC Strategic Partners play an important role in supporting many of the educational initiatives and services that benefit APIC’s membership, which is comprised of nurses, physicians, epidemiologists, microbiologists, public health professionals and other individuals dedicated to preventing the spread of infection.
