It was a huge honor to receive the Medical Society of Virginia Salute to Service Award, for my work in infection prevention and safety. Thank you to all the collaborators over the years for their invaluable service to patient safety.
Last but no least, a special thank you to Drs. Michael Edmond and Richard Wenzel, for their second-to-none mentorship in my professional career as both an infectious diseases specialist and epidemiologist.
No one succeeds without the guidance and support of others.
