CAN THIS ROOM BE TURNED OVER IN 20
MINUTES WITH ALL SURFACES EFFECTIVELY
CLEANED AND DISINFECTED?
Surfaces are fomites that contribute to the acquisition
and transmission of microbes that cause deadly infections.
Healthcare-acquired infections cannot be mitigated until surfaces are
addressed. The Healthcare Surfaces Institute is comprised of a diverse group
of healthcare professionals, scientists, manufacturers, and other experts. We’ll
be discussing solutions for real-life scenarios like the one pictured above at
our Annual Meeting in Houston, Texas on March 3-4, 2020.

Healthcare Surfaces Institute is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Our mission is to reduce preventable
infections through the collaboration of industry, academia, science, regulatory, and service sectors by
interrupting the transmission of surface-related pathogens in healthcare in support of community health.
