End Sepsis

END SEPSIS: Our name is our mission. We work to end the 270,000 preventable deaths and hundreds of thousands of devastating disabilities that result from sepsis each year.

We envision a world where every young person understands sepsis as a medical emergency, recognizes its signs, and can confidently advocate for their own care and the care of others; where patients are met in clinics and hospitals by medical professionals who are trained to recognize and treat sepsis rapidly and thoroughly. Our work is guided by this vision and centers on five primary areas:

1.  The development and implementation of mandatory protocols to ensure the rapid diagnosis and treatment of sepsis in every hospital in the country;
2. Providing comprehensive sepsis education to every school-age child in the country;
3. Raising awareness of sepsis so that the public has the knowledge it needs to prevent infections occurring and to secure medical assistance before it’s too late;
4. Hosting the annual National Forum on Sepsis;
5. Supporting those impacted by sepsis through the National Family Council on Sepsis.
