We are a family-led community that seeks to end preventable deaths and suffering from sepsis.

Please join us in welcoming Chanu Rhee, MD, MPH, to the END SEPSIS Board of Advisors!

Dr. Rhee is an Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School and Director of the Center for Sepsis Epidemiology and Prevention Studies at Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute. He is also a practicing infectious diseases and critical care physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

His research and leadership have helped shape national approaches to sepsis surveillance, prevention and quality improvement, advancing how hospitals recognize and treat sepsis.

We are delighted to welcome his expertise and experience as we work to end preventable deaths from sepsis.

The first signs were small but worrying. He refused to feed, was hard to wake, and looked pale and “out of it.” At first, I wasn’t sure what was wrong, but when he continued to refuse feeding, I knew I had to get him medical help.”

Know the signs. Trust your instincts. Read Levi’s story by heading to the stories section at endsepsis.org

Throughout September, we’ve shared information about what sepsis is, how to recognize the warning signs, stories of loss and survival, resources for families and communities, and the work being done to improve sepsis prevention, recognition and treatment.

But sepsis awareness cannot be limited to one month.

Sepsis can begin anywhere: at home, at school, at work, in a doctor’s office or in a hospital. Knowing the warning signs, recognizing when something isn’t right and acting quickly can save a life.

But awareness is only part of the solution. Education, strong sepsis protocols, better data, greater accountability and legislation like the SEPSIS Act are all critical to improving sepsis prevention, recognition and treatment and ending preventable deaths from sepsis.

Get involved today and every day at endsepsis.org.

Every sepsis story matters.

If you’ve lost someone to sepsis or survived it yourself, sharing your story can honor your experience and help others recognize sepsis sooner.

Reading others’ stories may help you feel less alone or put words to something you’ve been through.

Read and share sepsis stories at endsepsis.org. Together we can end preventable deaths from sepsis.

A look back at a 2012 TODAY Show segment featuring Rory’s story, just months after he died from sepsis. His death was preventable.

Since then, Rory’s Regulations and similar efforts around the country have helped save thousands of lives. Now, we’re working to pass the SEPSIS Act to strengthen sepsis care nationwide.

Surviving sepsis can be the beginning of a long recovery.

Some survivors experience lasting fatigue, pain, memory problems, anxiety, or other changes to their physical and mental health. These effects are known as Post-Sepsis Syndrome, and they may not be visible to others.

If you’re struggling after sepsis, tell your healthcare provider what you’re experiencing. You deserve support through recovery, however long it takes.

What has your recovery after sepsis been like? Share your experience in the comments, or tell us your story at endsepsis.org.

More good news for the SEPSIS Act!

Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-KS) has joined as a co-sponsor of the bipartisan SEPSIS Act (S.1929), bringing us another step closer to strengthening our nation’s response to sepsis and saving lives.

Thank you to all the sepsis families and advocates across Kansas who contacted Senator Marshall and called for his support. We are especially grateful to Clayton Anderson, who led the campaign in Kansas.

Clayton’s wife, Krystal Anderson, died from sepsis in March 2024 following the stillbirth of their daughter (read her story here: https://www.endsepsis.org/stories/krystal-anderson/) Clayton has worked tirelessly with END SEPSIS to honor Krystal's life, raise awareness and help ensure that other families do not endure the same devastating loss.

This progress belongs to every family and advocate who spoke up. Your voices are making a difference.

We need your help. Your voice can save lives.

The SEPSIS Act would strengthen federal sepsis programs, expand the use of critical hospital guidelines, improve data collection and develop better measures of sepsis care and outcomes.

Sign the petition and tell Congress to support the SEPSIS Act.
