Baccalaureate students from The Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing, Baltimore, recently met with members of Congress and federal health officials in Washington, D.C., as part of the national One & Only Campaign.

The campaign focuses on preventing patient exposure to hepatitis, HIV, and other blood-borne diseases by ensuring syringes and other medical instruments are used only once.

“In recent years, numerous health outbreaks have resulted because healthcare providers have failed to follow evidence-based safe injection practices,” said Julie Hindmarsh, RN, MPH, clinical instructor. “Our students are committed to preventing such outbreaks.”
