From the surgical team to the administrative staff, every person at Riverview Health plays a crucial role in delivering a cohesive and caring experience. ​

When antibiotics stop working, patients can experience dangerous infections, more expensive medical care, loss of income, and grief among other results. Germs will inevitably find ways to resist antibiotics and antifungals, which is why aggressive action is needed to keep new resistance from developing.

Join us as we fight to stop antimicrobial resistance (AR) spread, slow AR development, improve antibiotic and antifungal use, and prevent infections from happening in the first place.​

Antimicrobial resistance occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites no longer respond to antimicrobial medicines. As a result, antibiotics and other antimicrobial medicines become ineffective, making infections harder or impossible to treat.

Taking antibiotics exactly as prescribed by your doctor, washing your hands regularly, and getting vaccinated are all ways you can help prevent antimicrobial resistance.
