Training & Education
Kimguard Sterile Wrap Scholarship
Why is Kimberly-Clark so passionate about education?
- Because Healthcare-Associated Infections are reaching crisis levels worldwide
- Because we’re with you in your fight to prevent infections
- Because we’re just as serious as you are about reducing the costs to you, your hospital and your patients resulting from these infections
And because we know that a key defence strategy for preventing these infections is education.
What is the Kimberly-Clark Education Foundation?
The Kimberly-Clark Education Foundation is an on-going national educational program designed to foster continual improvement in infection prevention and enable sterile supply, operating room and infection control departments to remain at the forefront of best practice and industry trends.
