Buffy Lloyd-Krejci
President and founder of IPC Well, America
Buffy Lloyd-Krejci, president and founder of IPC Well, has always had a passion for mitigating infectious diseases. Even before the pandemic, Buffy realized how serious infections disproportionately impact vulnerable populations. COVID-19 merely sheds light on the systemic challenge of infection prevention and control and its adverse impact on patient care.
She and her team take a “boots on the ground” approach to support nursing homes across the nation, conducting in-person, deep-dive assessments to offer immediate support to healthcare workers on the frontlines. She has developed practical tools, led trainings, provided ongoing support to IPC teams, and created the “LTC playbook” for the global humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders.
She published BROKEN: How the Global Pandemic Uncovered a Nursing Home System in Need of Repair and the Heroic Staff Fighting for Change, a novel which exposes the dire need of IPC support within the nursing home industry.
