It was a pleasure to work with ICCS. Our consultant was professional, knowledgeable and a great ambassador for the company. She had many great observations and suggestions. We have implemented many so far and look forward to receiving the final report from ICCS, which will drive many QAPI initiatives.

To the Infection Control Consulting Services team:

I want to thank you for your support and guidance in contributing to our success in passing the tri-annual Joint Commission survey. It was a collaborative team effort. The IC department had no findings. The ICCS team was amazing. Thanks again!

To Phenelle Segal, ICCS President:

I wanted to let you know our director of nursing was praised by AAAHC as they said "This is the best infection control program we have seen." They were so impressed with our infection prevention designee as well. Congratulations!

Linda Goss, Administrator
Riddle Surgical Center


To the Infection Control Consulting Services team:

We did it. We had our AAAHC accreditation survey last week and it went great. Although we felt prepared and good about what we do, it is always a bit nerve-wracking to have the surveyors in house looking at everything. The good news is that we did wonderful. Our surveyor was very complimentary and positive about all our departments but was particularly positive about our infection control plan and policies. Thanks to the ICCS team for all your time and efforts to help us be in tiptop shape.

We are so thrilled with the outcome of our survey that we wanted to say thank you. We appreciate all your help and support. As I am sure you often hear, it has been great having you there to bounce ideas off of or get clarification. Having you come through and complete audits allowed us to find areas that could be improved before the survey took place.

We thank you so much for all you did for us at Red Hills. We know we are better because of you.

Thank you!

Dan Stannard, RN, Director of Nursing
Red Hills Surgical Center


To Phenelle Segal, ICCS President:

Our survey went amazing. We were approved for a three-year accreditation. The surveyor was very impressed with your infection control report. Kudus to you and your team. Thank you for all you do for us.

PADONA Seminar Attendee Comments


"Phenelle is a great educator and patient advocate. Her unique ability to assess organizational dynamics, in addition to her wonderful people skills, made for an effective development and rapid implementation of our Infection Control Program. She took the Hospital to a new level of safety and continuous process improvement."

David N. Horwich, MD, Chairman,

"Phenelle is an outstanding Infection Control Practitioner who successfully implemented major changes to our Infection Control Program. Her extraordinary educational and communication skills resulted in increased compliance from hospital and medical staff with respect to Infection Control Practices. Her motivation, competence and expertise resulted in lower infection rates and increased patient safety."

Dewey Keel, DLM, MS, MT(ASCP), Director,
Laboratory, Los Angeles, CA


"As an administrator of a hospital, I appreciate and stress the critical need for an effective and efficient Infection Control Program as an integral component of overall patient safety, and cost reduction. 1 in 6 patients will acquire a nosocomial infection, and greater than 100,000 will die annually from those infections. The key for our facility in Los Angeles was Phenelle, who in both my administrative and clinical experience, was the greatest Infection Control Practitioner that I have ever worked with. Her knowledge base is exceptional, and she had tremendous rapport and support from the physician, nursing and ancillary staff."

Peter Aprato, Pharm. D, FACHE, Administrator,
Centinela Freeman Regional Medical Center, Los Angeles

"Phenelle was an amazing speaker, and she was very open to sharing information and resources even after her presentation. I have lots of great information to share with my surgery center and best practices to implement."

"It is apparent that Phenelle is passionate and very knowledgeable in her subject area. She kept the attention of the audience the entire time. I would definitely attend another session where she is speaking."
