Alliance Discussion: Sepsis: Gaining Ground against an Under-recognized Public Health Threat
May 29 @ 12:00 pm - 12:45 pm
Sepsis, a life-threatening emergency that happens when your body’s response to an infection damages vital organs, affects over 1.7 million people and takes the lives of over 75,000 children in the U.S. each year. We hope you can join us on Wednesday, May 29 at noon E.T. for an alliance discussion with Thomas Heymann, President & CEO of Sepsis Alliance, and Dr. Mallory Perry-Eaddy, Assistant Professor at the University of Connecticut School of Nursing and member of the Sepsis Alliance Advisory Board. Thomas and Dr. Perry-Eaddy will discuss the devastating effects of sepsis and how Sepsis Alliance is working to promote needed research, raise sepsis awareness in the community, and educate healthcare professionals to diagnosis and treat sepsis faster, to save lives.
