Sepsis Awareness Month

This September, will you join us?

In 2011, Sepsis Alliance designated September as Sepsis Awareness Month. Every September since, we’ve invited individuals, healthcare professionals in every area of medicine, and organizations big and small to help save lives by raising awareness of the leading cause of death in U.S. hospitals – sepsis.

Sepsis is the body’s life-threatening response to infection that affects 1.7 million people and takes 350,000 adult lives in the U.S. every year.

This September, remember: Infection Prevention is Sepsis Prevention™! We will be sharing more about how the best way to prevent sepsis is by preventing infection, all month long.
