*** PREVENTING MRSA: IT'S IN OUR HANDS ***
The Arizona Public Health Association (AzPHA) is a non-profit, professional organization working to improve the public's health and to achieve
health status equality for all Arizonans. Currently AzPHA is promoting a Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Prevention Campaign
aimed at reducing community acquired MRSA (CA-MRSA). To do this, AzPHA, along with the Arizona Hospital and Healthcare Association, has prepared
materials including: brochures, fact sheets, posters, magnets, and easily implemented prevention plans for distribution.
This information is available as a MRSA Toolkit Prevention Packet, or electronically as PDF files.
If you would like to receive a free Toolkit so you may promote MRSA education and prevention at your facility,
or would simply like some posters and/or fact sheets to display, contact lindsey@azpha.org with your request.
Specify if you would like an entire packet or simply a few select materials.
Please forward this information to any party thay may be interested.
High risk areas for CA-MRSA include schools, daycares, gyms, health clubs, and homeless shelters,
however proper handwashing and sanitation is important for everyone.
Those of us at AzPHA look forward to your participation as we strive for a healthy community!
Thank you,
Lindsey Trutter
