#56 Measles is Back: Inside a Children's Hospital Outbreak Response

#56 Measles is Back: Inside a Children's Hospital Outbreak Response

Measles is back, and when a community outbreak hit in early 2025, one children's hospital had to move fast. In this episode, hosts Nicki and Jess are joined by Chris, Christie, and Lacey to break down how their multidisciplinary team rapidly designed and implemented infection prevention strategies to protect pediatric patients, families, and staff. From emergency department screening sheds and temporary negative pressure rooms to staff education, fit testing, and coordination with public health, our guests walk through what worked, what was challenging, and the real-world lessons learned from managing a highly contagious virus in a healthcare setting. This conversation offers practical insights for infection preventionists and healthcare leaders preparing for vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks.

With special guests:

  • Lacey Kovar, MPH, CIC, Senior Infection Preventionist, Covenant Children's Hospital
  • Chris Gould, MBA, Senior Director of Environment of Care, Facilities Engineering for the Texas-New Mexico Region, Covenant Health
  • Christie Vandygriff, MSIPE, BSN, RN, Senior Manager of Infection Prevention, Covenant Health
