CS Medical Continues Strategic Partnership with APIC in 2026

CS Medical, a recognized leader in ultrasound probe reprocessing, is proud to continue our strategic alliance with the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) for 2026. APIC, with its network of over 15,000 infection preventionist (IP) members and more than 100 chapters, is the world’s largest organization dedicated to infection prevention and control (IPC) professionals.

Launched in 2007, APIC’s Strategic Partner Program is a collaborative initiative that forges strong, mutually beneficial relationships between industry leaders and the IPC community. This program is designed to foster innovation, facilitate knowledge-sharing, and encourage meaningful engagement. Strategic partners play a vital role in advancing APIC’s mission by supporting the programs and services that make APIC membership so valuable.

“We deeply appreciate our valued partnerships as we look ahead to 2026,” said Devin Jopp, APIC CEO. “Infection preventionists are vital within healthcare systems and across our communities, working tirelessly to protect public health and improve safety for all. By joining forces with our Strategic Partners, APIC not only advances the field of infection prevention but also ensures our members have access to the latest science, tools, and resources.”

This collaboration underscores a shared commitment to supporting infection preventionists with the tools, insights, and innovation they need to succeed.

“CS Medical looks forward to continuing our support of APIC and its initiatives to educate, train, and promote a safer world through infection prevention at all levels of healthcare. Through our commitment as a Strategic Partner, we support and are honored by the unwavering commitment of the APIC organization and its members worldwide to not only patient safety but also a high code of professional standards within healthcare. Together, with focus and continued commitment, we all can enjoy living in a safer world through the prevention of infection,” said Mark Leath, CS Medical President.
