What a great presentation yesterday, you're awesome!!!! You have no idea how your information about Senate Bill 968/Act 52 of 2007 helps all of us.

Phenelle is an excellent speaker and I thoroughly enjoyed her presentation. She obviously has a passion for LTC and infection control. It was wonderful to attend a seminar which is strongly geared to LTC.

Excellent program - well presented, very understandable and usable. Looking forward to purchasing manual if at all possible.

Excellent presentation - I found the information very helpful to my everyday nursing practice.

Excellent knowledgeable presentation. Learned new infection control information and techniques.

Very informative information. It is "assumed" that everyone understands, so this really helped.

Great seminar!

"Phenelle is an outstanding Infection Control Practitioner who successfully implemented major changes to our Infection Control Program. Her extraodinary educational and communication skills resulted in increased compliance from hospital and medical staff with respect to Infection Control Practices."Her motivation, competence and expertise resulted in lower infection rates and increased patient safety.

"As an administrator of a hospital, I appreciate and stress the critical need for an effective and efficient Infection Control Program as an integral component of overall patient safety, and cost reduction. 1 in 6 patients will acquire a nosocomial infection, and greater than 100,000 will die annually from those infections. The key for our facility in Los Angeles was Phenelle, who in both my administrative and clinical experience, was the greatest Infection Control Practitioner that I have ever worked with. Her knowledge base is exceptional, and she had tremendous rapport and support from the physician, nursing and ancillary staff."
