Duneland Schools Lead State in MRSA Fight

Link: Duneland Schools Lead State in MRSA Fight.

The Duneland School Corporation, with the purchase of the Sports-O-Zone machine, becomes the first in the State of Indiana to take steps to proactively protect its athletes from the deadly MRSA virus. After a student athlete was hospitalized last fall with a cut infected by the MRSA virus, the school administration moved quickly to insure that all precautions were being taken. Dr. David Pruis, Assistant Superintendant for Operations and Human Relations, brought a recent news story to the attention of fellow administrators. It was about Sports-O-Zone of Elkhart, IN and the machine they developed to kill the MRSA virus on sports equipment. Mark McKibben, Director of Special Services for the corporation, along with Athletic Director, Garry Nallenweg and Head Trainer, Bernie Stento, traveled to Elkhart to tour the Sport-O-Zone facility and see if this was the answer they had been looking for.
