Infection Prevention

At the heart of keeping our communities safe are preventive measures and education that can prevent or reduce the risks of exposure for our patients, staff, families, and friends. 

The Infection Preventionist at Knox Community Hospital, Erin Craw, works to provide ongoing education, monitoring, and minimizing risk to those working and receiving care in the healthcare setting. Erin searches for infection patterns, observes, compiles data, develops policies and procedures, educates and advises care teams and leadership, and maintains close communication with local and national public health agencies.
