We are getting a very good response to the Dear Colleague circulated by Representives Berkley and Terry! Our request is for $30 million to extend programmatic funding for detection and tracking of healthcare associated infection ($5 million to provide the One and Only Campaign in 5-10 more states) - with a concentration on the VA and in outpatient settings. Thanks for all the support!

I leave Sunday to work on Monday in Atlanta with our wonderful partners at the CDC. As part of the One and Only Campaign materials, we are making the training video. I have the honor of doing the introduction. The video has five segments, each respresenting what what wrong in recent American outbreaks - and how these situations could be, can be, easily avoided. I am ready for my close-up!

Many thanks to all our great advocates! Wonderful meetings today on Capitol Hill capped off by 15 of us at a great meeting with Senator Johanns! We meet tomorrow on the Capitol Steps for a photo shoot. This is great support for our two asks: extension of programmatic funding from the CDC for tracking and detection of healthcare-associated infections (including $5 million to extend the One and Only Campaign) and funding for ASCs and for the VA; and the request for HONOReform to have a congressional hearing.

The announcement last week of an outbreak in a Tampa area holistic medicine clinic gives us even more reason to visit lawmakers on the Hill on Monday and Tuesday. Our dedicated volunteers from Florida will make visits for us. A full statement by Evelyn in response to the Florida outbreak is on the main page of our web site. Thank you for your support of prevention of unsafe injection practices.
