Making Healthcare Safe for Patients and Staff with Denise Cardo and David Henderson
Dr. Denise Cardo and David Henderson are infectious diseases physicians and leaders in healthcare epidemiology—the medical discipline that studies the causes and solutions to prevent infections, use antibiotics wisely, and prevent the spread of “superbugs” in healthcare settings. Dr. Cardo led the Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion at the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, and Dr. Henderson was the Associate Director of the NIH’s Clinical Center. They pioneered the practice of providing post-exposure prophylaxis to prevent HIV infection among healthcare workers exposed to blood through puncture wounds. Their research and collaboration saved the lives of countless healthcare workers. Epilogue by Dr. Julie Gerberding, who worked with Drs. Henderson and Cardo on post-exposure prophylaxis for healthcare workers.
