Project Firstline
We are proud to partner with the National Network of Public Health Institutes (NNPHI) for Project Firstline. The CDC's Project Firstline is a collaborative of diverse healthcare and public health partners that have come together to provide healthcare facilities foundational knowledge of infection control.
To stop the spread of infectious disease threats, including COVID-19, anyone in healthcare, public health, and environmental health needs a foundational knowledge of infection control and must understand and be ready to implement infection control protocols and procedures throughout their workday, including during every patient care activity and healthcare interaction. This collaboration will provide these professionals with infection control training they need to protect the nation from infectious disease threats.
