In 2011, September was designated as Sepsis Awareness Month, a time when healthcare professionals and organizations come together to raise awareness of this life-threatening emergency. Improve outcomes for the residents in your skilled care setting by participating and joining together in this effort to promote early detection and management. You can make a difference and save lives!

See the flyer below for more details and Colorado data. Be on the lookout for weekly emails in September with interventions, tips and resources to protect your residents.
