Project Firstline
NH DPHS in collaboration with CDC’s Project Firstline provides engaging, innovative and effective infection control trainings for all healthcare workers across the care continuum.
Project Firstline is the CDC National Training Collaborative for Healthcare Infection Prevention and Control.
Collaboration with CDC Project Firstline
Our mission is to provide every healthcare worker and public health employee in New Hampshire with a foundational understanding of infection prevention and control (IPC). This effort will provide them with the confidence to use IPC every day to protect themselves, their community, and the state from infectious disease threats.
Our upcoming goals will focus on a three prong approach of providing a program that is empowering, immersive, and has lasting results.
