Infection Prevention is Our Business
APIC Greater Los Angeles (APIC GLA) was
originally founded in 1973, as the Nurse
Epidemiologist of Southern California - the only infection control
organization at the time in Southern California. In 1975, it
became the first California chapter to become a chartered member of APIC
(Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology,
Inc.). APIC GLA has a membership of over
160 individuals, representing over 50 healthcare facilities and
industry. Our members are dedicated and passionate about our
leadership calling to infection prevention, providing ourselves and
healthcare community with an invaluable infection prevention resource
through collaboration and diverse educational activities. Chapter
meetings provide an opportunity to network and exchange information
about evidence-based practice and NHSN reporting.
APIC GLA provides a local presence for APIC - the
world’s preeminent infection prevention and control organization.
