Decatur Daily Democrat:
A recent Indiana State Department of Health survey has shown that Adams Memorial Hospital is one of the best in the state in making sure children born at its location are immunized against the Hepatitis B virus.
ISDH public health investigator Rupert E. Arceo recently presented hospital officials with a “Gold Award” in recognition of the facilities' practices in the prevention of perinatal Hepatitis B infections.
Arceo said there are 98 hospitals in Indiana that deliver babies. Through a four-year project with the Centers for Disease Control, ISDH officials have surveyed roughly 25 hospitals a year, with facilities earning a “Gold,” “Silver,” or “Bronze” award. On average, said Arceo, about two to three hospitals a year receive “Gold” status.
