APIC Heart of New York (HONY) is a local chapter of the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc., the leading professional association for Infection Preventionists. Founded in 1993, APIC Chapter 118 consists of Infection Preventionists who serve the Central and Northern New York State region in both large and small institutions and from urban to rural areas. The chapter’s members represent a broad spectrum of healthcare settings including hospitals, long term care, home care, ambulatory settings, Local and State Health Departments. Our members are dedicated and passionate about our calling to infection prevention, providing ourselves and our healthcare community with an invaluable, collaborative infection prevention resource.
APIC HONY’s primary goal is to provide a meeting environment that supports the IP and addresses common issues as they relate to infection prevention. The members’ broad range of experiences allows us to address issues facing the IP.
