Maryland Escape Room Trainings Finish Strong in 2025
We recently visited Potomac Valley Rehabilitation
and Healthcare Center in Rockville (photos above) and the Calvert County Health Department
in Prince Frederick (photos below) to deliver this interactive training. We hope your staff found the training engaging and informative, and that it reinforced essential infection
control practices to help ensure their safety and the safety of everyone in your facility.
We extend our appreciation to those who continue to request the MD Project Firstline Escape Room training. The ongoing support provided by 16 of Maryland’s 24 local health departments has been instrumental in allowing us to showcase the resources available to healthcare professionals and environmental services staff. We look forward to partnering with other Maryland health departments and their teams in 2026.
We concluded the year with a training for the team at Tender Care Dentistry in Charlotte Hall (photos below) and look forward to the many trainings we already have scheduled for the coming year.
MD Project Firstline has completed over 60 training sessions
in 2025, including webinars, skills clinics, and Escape Rooms. Since July, we
have trained approximately 500 staff across numerous healthcare settings. We
are looking forward to a busy 2026 and are committed to providing you with
updated CDC resources and training to address your infection control training
needs. MD Project Firstline recently attended the annual
membership meetings and holiday parties for LifeSpan and the
Coalition of Geriatric Services (COGS). MD Project Firstline's Lynne Layug, left, and Dianne Kaschak, paused for a photo op with a special visitor at the recent COGS meeting.
We enjoy working with the leadership and
members of both organizations and were pleased to share the holiday spirit with
you.
