Environmental Services (EVS) professionals are often required to clean and disinfect rooms in which various infectious agents are present: Clostridioides difficile, Candida aurus, SARS-CoV-2, tuberculosis and many more. The role of EVS professionals in frontline health care is often overlooked, and they often do not have access to the same education that other frontline workers have about pathogens and proper infection control practices. In this Stories of Care episode, Pam Toppel, the Manager of Environmental Services and Linen for OSF HealthCare, discusses the key role of EVS in infection prevention and control, and how COVID brought their important work to the forefront.
