Communicable Disease Service

NJDOH launched the 2020 Antimicrobial Stewardship Recognition Program to:

• Acknowledge our top performers and encourage developing stewardship programs,
• Improve visibility of ASPs within their organizations,
• Encourage new leaders and find unique initiatives, and
• Sustain current emphasis on stewardship in NJ

NOTE: Due to challenges from the COVID-19 response, returning stewards had the opportunity to reapply for their current status through an attestation document. New stewards were eligible to apply for the “Antimicrobial Steward.”
