Caitlin Adams Barker

As an infection preventionist (IP) at a large academic center, when a pandemic strikes, all eyes are on you to keep your staff safe. Caitlin stepped up in her IP role and worked tirelessly as an integral part of our incident command and emergency response team. As the subject matter expert she lead most of the contact tracing work, was our primary liaison to occupational medicine, developed and updated all infection control policies and procedures, rounded on our COVID units, and always had compassion though it all. She is an invaluable member of our team and deserves this recognition for the sacrifices she made to put our staff’s safety first.
