The Virginia Antimicrobial Stewardship Honor Roll for Danville & Martinsville Campuses
December 4, 2024
Sovah Health, Danville and Martinsville both received renewed recognition for antimicrobial stewardship efforts during 2024. The Virginia Antimicrobial Stewardship Honor Roll aims to recognize facilities meeting each of the CDC core elements of antimicrobial stewardship programs.
The program also facilitates state-wide collaboration toward combatting antimicrobial resistance through sharing of data and best practices. Both Danville and Martinsville campuses were recognized at the Gold Status Level and earned 3 stars each. This is the highest level of honor roll recognition.
Achieving honor roll status reflects the dedicated efforts of many within Sovah Health working toward optimizing antibiotic use every day and shows a strong collaboration between pharmacy, the microbiology laboratory and physician leadership to implement best practices that give prescribers necessary information to craft optimal antibiotic regimens for our patients. Congratulations to our team for all of their hard work!
