Healthcare Associated Infections: We've Come a Long Way But We Aren't There Yet

By CME Corp Staff on May 22, 2023

By a show of hands who has had or knows someone who has had a legal medical procedure, performed in recent memory, without sterile instruments, in an unhygienic environment, in the United States.

That’s what we thought.

We’ve come a long way from the days when “a man laid on the operating table of one of our surgical hospitals is more exposed to more chance of death than was the English soldier on the field of Waterloo” (Sir James Young Simpson, Surgeon and Professor of Medicine and Midwifery (1860s)).1

Fire Up the Grills, May is Military Appreciation Month!

Military

How is it that a single word has the power to conjure hundreds of images in our mind and evoke waves of distinct emotions … all in a split second.

The Merriam-Webster defines military as “of or relating to armed forces” and “performed or made by armed forces”. But, based on how our lives and loved ones have been touched by the military, we may use other defining words.

It’s a safe bet that close to every single one of us knows or knows of someone who is serving or has served our nation in the military. Cast a wider net to include the spouses of the armed forces and one would be hard pressed to say they don’t know a single person in or associated with the military.

CME is proud to say that close to 10% of the men and women in the CME Corp workforce are active reservists or former armed forces personnel.

Short on Shelf Space? Optimize With High-Density Shelving

Shelving units filled with an array of roughly organized supplies and crowded into a small space. Sound familiar?
