The Staff of St. Mary’s Hospital Practices Donning Personal Protection Equipment (PPE). “Appropriate PPE is to be worn when there is potential for exposure to infectious material,” commented Cathie Hylton, RN Infection Control Coordinator at SMH.  “We want our staff to be safe when dealing with a patient who has an infectious disease and in order to do that we need to learn the proper way to get into and out of the equipment without getting contaminated.” Shown above are Tom Schumacher and Brenda Kaschmitter properly attired.
