COMPLIMENTARY RECORDED WEBINAR + FREE DIGITAL DOWNLOAD
Recorded September 13, 2017 - This is a 45-minute presentation
This previously recorded webinar covers CDC standards for universal precautions and hand washing which are critical to protecting patients, families & volunteers from COVID-19. This webinar is complimentary.
They are called "universal" because these precautions should be observed all of the time – everywhere. Universal precautions protect us while doing volunteer work, but they also protect patients with compromised immune systems. This webinar, designed specifically for hospice volunteers, will go through the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) standards for universal precautions and hand washing. This information is critical in your work as a hospice volunteer, but can also be extremely useful in everyday life.
