Infection Prevention

Areas of Care

Staying healthy means stopping infections before they start — and treating them quickly when they don’t. Our infection prevention team provides expert, personalized care for everything from everyday illnesses to complex infections caused by bacteria or viruses.

Whether you’re recovering from surgery or managing a long-term condition, we’ll work with you to reduce your risk, keep you out of the hospital, and improve your overall quality of life.

What We Treat

Our team cares for a wide range of infections including:

  • Surgical and orthopedic infections: Helping prevent and treat infections after joint replacements or other procedures.
  • Tick-borne illnesses: Including Lyme disease, which can cause serious long-term symptoms if not treated early.
  • Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs): Offering testing, treatment, and education to keep you safe and informed.
  • Chronic urinary tract infections (UTIs): Especially in cases that keep coming back or don’t respond to standard antibiotics.
  • HIV: Providing both PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) to prevent HIV and full treatment plans for those living with it.
