The vision of APIC is healthcare without infection,” says Mosqueda. “As part of their board, I’ll have the opportunity to work with other infection control specialists to continually improve safety for patients, visitors and staff in our hospitals.”
She has been with NMC since 2007.
Spielman was invited to join the board of directors for the Kansas Environmental and Laundry Services Association (KHELSA). His one-year term with the Kansas Hospital Association’s allied health organization began this past October during the KHELSA annual conference.
“I’m honored to have been asked to serve,” says Spielman of his new role. “KHELSA’s goal is to make Kansas a leader in environmental services (EVS) in hospitals by giving those in the field the opportunity to grow — I’m excited to be a part of that.”
Spielman has been a member of KHELSA since 2015. He also joined NMC in 2015.
