Project Firstline NY

Project Firstline NY invites healthcare workers and support staff in New York’s nursing homes and assisted living facilities to take on a virtual escape room experience! Join Captain Germ-B-Gone as you outsmart the sneaky “Clutterbug,” who’s plotting to spread the flu. Work through real-world infection control challenges, test your teamwork, and see if you can save the day!

Did you know germs can thrive in sinks, drains and even ice? Join our next Lunch Bite December 17 and learn how to stop them before they spread. Protect patients, prevent contamination and keep your facility safe.

Join us November 26 from 2:00 to 2:30 p.m. for a free Lunch Bites webinar on ventilation in health care settings. This quick refresher explains how air changes per hour (ACH) affect infection prevention and why good airflow is essential for protecting staff and patients. Learn why wait times between patients matter, how vents impact safety, and when to involve your facility team before making any room changes.

Clutterbug is on the move! 🦠 Are you ready to outsmart the traps? Test your infection control skills by taking Project Firstline NY’s Virtual Escape Room Challenge today. 💻🔐
