About
Approximately 100,000 people die in America every year from Healthcare Aquirred infections. You read that right…. 100,000 hospital and nursing home patients look to American healthcare facilities for help and end up dying from an infection that usually has nothing to do with the reason they were in the hospital in the first place. Monarch had the honor of working with Clorox, and the Association for Professionals in Infection Control (APIC), to inspire healthcare workers to drastically reduce those numbers. In the process of developing three case-studies of hospitals that have taken drastic and creative measures to reduce those infections, the Monarch crew visited three very different health care faciliites in three very different cities.
Our first trip was to New York City to visit with the employees at NYU Langone medical center in the heart of NYC. We worked hard, walked a lot, and saw both Wicked and Phantom on broadway. We shared cabs, small elevators, a hotel room, and a really emotional moment right before intermission of Wicked (and there is nothing wrong with three grown men being moved by a green woman wearing a big hat). Our week of filming at NYU Langone was unforgetable. We found the people at the hospital to be energetic, colorful, and passionate.
