"We are thrilled to receive this recognition, which highlights the high standards of care our ASP team upholds," said Dave Tomey, Chief Medical Officer of AdventHealth Redmond. "Achieving Platinum Level status reflects the commitment and collaboration of our entire ASP/AMP team in pursuing best practices for antimicrobial stewardship."
