A recently released Oregon Health Association report said Oregon hospitals still have work to do in preventing infections like C. diff. and MRSA, according to an article on the Wallowa County Chieftan website.
But Wallowa Memorial Hospital reports that in 2015 they had no incidences of most bacterial infections associated with a hospital stay and just one case of the most dangerous.
This is in part because Wallowa Memorial does not have a neonatal or adult intensive care unit, where other infections are most likely.
Also, the hospital is able to isolate all cases of bacterial infection.
