Heather Saunders is an experienced and motivated registered nurse with a master’s degree in public health and a certification in infection control. Heather believes in using innovative and strategic leadership methods to achieve program goals.
Heather first discovered her love for infection prevention and control (and chai tea) during a short-term assignment in Nairobi, Kenya, where she worked with a multidisciplinary team to improve the health of women and children living in the Mathare Valley slums.
“In Mathare Valley I became acutely aware of the need for prevention and control in the fight against infectious diseases.”
After spending the first six years of her nursing career in busy emergency departments, she transitioned away from the bedside to join the work at the Johns Hopkins Hospital as an Infection Control Epidemiologist.
“The Emergency Department helped prepare me for my career by exposing me to all aspects of healthcare. Practicing infection prevention and control at Hopkins provided me with the knowledge and experience needed to excel in this field.”
Following the completion of her Masters of Public Health degree, Heather became the lead infection prevention and control nurse consultant for the state of Maryland, guiding the state’s infection prevention and control efforts during the COVID pandemic.
“Working at the State Health Department during COVID wasn’t easy but it was incredibly rewarding. The best part was having the opportunity to work with and mentor so many healthcare facilities and infection preventionists throughout the state.”
Currently, Heather works at the Johns Hopkins University as a research nurse program manager in infectious disease. Heather is also the owner and primary infection control nurse consultant for Broad Street Prevention.
