Foothill Regional Medical Center Infection Control Expert Receives Top National Honor - Orange County’s Shahbaz Salehi Named Infection Control Today’s 2024 Educator of the Year

Salehi, MPH, MSHIA, director, infection control, at Foothill Regional Medical Center, has been named the 2024 Educator of the Year by Infection Control Today, a national leader in infection control.

“The 2024 Infection Control Today Educator of the Year award recognizes an individual who has demonstrated exceptional passion and dedication to educating others, empowering them to drive positive change, and achieving meaningful outcomes through their efforts,” said Tori Whitacre Martonicz, senior editor, Infection Control Today. “Among many outstanding nominations from infection prevention and control professionals, one name stood out unanimously. ICT proudly honors Shahbaz Salehi as the 2024 Educator of the Year.”

“We are proud of Shahbaz and congratulate him on this outstanding accomplishment,” said Araceli Lonergan, CEO of Foothill Regional Medical Center. “This prestigious honor reflects his unwavering dedication to the highest standard of excellence in infection control and embodies the values of our organization.”
Salehi’s many contributions to infection education include teaching Infection Control in a Hospital Setting at the University of California Los Angeles Extension, one of the few U.S. infection control certificate programs; acting as subject matter expert for universities to review their public health courses and evaluate their sepsis training; and reviewing and analyzing the certification and exam questions for the Healthcare Sterile Processing Association (HSPA), the premier association representing medical and surgical sterile processing.

“I am honored to receive this award,” said Salehi. “Education is the foundation of meaningful change, and I am grateful for the opportunity to inspire and equip others to lead in public health and infection control.”

Through their rigorous dedication to infection prevention, Salehi and Foothill Regional’s nursing leadership have helped the hospital gain national recognition for being among the top 10% of hospitals in the U.S. to achieve a zero-infection rate of clostridioides difficile (C. diff), according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Foothill Regional is the only full-service acute care hospital in Orange County to report no cases of the potentially life-threatening healthcare-associated infection (HAI) in CMS’s latest survey.
