*** Make a Comment ***

Nightingale implemented infection control measures to improve sanitary conditions, and the rate of infections decreased from 60% to 2.2% in less than a year (Billard & Wallman, 2020). This was phenomenal work at the time, and similar strategies remain in use in modern day public health. For example, certain problematic infections in hospitals are tracked state-wide and strategies such as sharing best practices and training programs are available and implemented to reduce rates. Nightingale was an amazing, innovative individual and her dedicated work remains impactful. Thank you again Florence!
