IPAC Hub

Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) Hubs were developed by the Ministry of Health to enhance IPAC practices in community-based, congregate living settings. IPAC hubs are funded by the Ministry of Health separately from other Public Health Unit funding.  

The Chatham-Kent IPAC Hub serves to provide guidance and direct support for IPAC best practices in congregate living settings.  

We support community-based, congregate living settings. These settings include: 

  1. Long-term care homes 
  2. Retirement homes 
  3. Supportive housing  
  4. Shelters  
  5. Group homes 

IPAC Training & Education

Public Health Ontario (PHO) offers a variety of education resources for different environments, including long-term care and community health care settings. Find the most relevant course for you on the PHO website.
