History

Michigan Society for Infection Prevention & Control (MSIPC) was founded in 1973 by professionals charged with the responsibility of developing Infection Control Programs in several institutions. It was obvious from the beginning that this fledging discipline was going to reach beyond the scope of any single practitioners expertise. These pioneering individuals saw the need to form an organization that would facilitate networking and effectively broaden the knowledge base of each individual by sharing expertise, resources, and providing a collegial forum for solutions of common problems.

Today this organization boasts more than 600 members who work in acute care, long term care, home care, mental health, public health, correctional facilities, and health care product organizations and facilities. MSIPC strives today to increase communication and access through the use of information technology, continually evaluates current education resources to serve member needs, and promotes science-based practices.
