Ocean Beach Health Receives the IRIS Healthcare Air Quality Seal of Recognition™

The International Respiratory Infections Society (IRIS) and Aerobiotix are excited to announce that Ocean Beach Health, Ilwaco, Washington, has been recently recognized as a recipient of the IRIS Healthcare Air Quality Seal of Recognition. This program, powered by Aerobiotix in collaboration with IRIS, recognizes healthcare providers working to achieve high air quality standards, particularly in operating rooms where reducing the risk of surgical site infections is a priority.

The IRIS Healthcare Air Quality Seal of Recognition program supports facilities by promoting best practices in air quality management, including advanced filtration and stringent monitoring. Facilities complete a thorough assessment and an on-site audit led by certified infection prevention experts to confirm they meet high standards for contaminant reduction. By earning this seal, Ocean Beach Health demonstrates its focus on protecting the health and well-being of both patients and staff.

Ocean Beach Health provides access to both routine and critical healthcare services for the people who live, work, and spend time in its community. Based in Ilwaco, Washington, Ocean Beach Health is a critical access hospital, a designation created to help preserve access to high-quality care in rural communities. Founded in 1934, the organization is community-owned and operated as a public hospital district. It is among the largest employers in Pacific County, with more than 180 physicians and staff across its hospital and clinics.
