About us
Our
Mission
To create a culture shift where infection prevention practices become universal in all activities by healthcare workers.
Project Firstline is a national training collaborative from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) delivered by SDFMC for healthcare workers throughout South Dakota.
Our
Goal
To make sure as many healthcare workers as possible go through the training. And the best part is, we can customize the training for South Dakota – catering to the needs and gaps in our state, from community to community.
