HUNTERSVILLE, N.C., Jan. 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rubbermaid Commercial Products has announced a strategic partnership with the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) for 2022.

The APIC Strategic Partner program establishes long-term relationships with industry partners united in the common goal advancing the science and practice of infection prevention and control in healthcare facilities and beyond. APIC Strategic Partners play an important role in supporting many of the educational initiatives and services that benefit APIC's membership, which is comprised of nurses, physicians, epidemiologists, microbiologists, public health professionals and other individuals dedicated to preventing the spread of infection.
