15 years. One mission. Countless lives impacted.

This September marks 15 years of Sepsis Awareness Month - 15 years of educating communities, amplifying survivor voices, advancing research, advocating for change, and working toward a future where more people recognize sepsis and seek treatment early.

While awareness has grown, the urgency remains. Sepsis is a medical emergency that can happen to anyone, and early recognition saves lives.

We would like to congratulate our 2026 Erin Kay Flatley Spirit Award winner, Shelby Hoffman, CRAT, LNA!

Shelby turns her passion for gaming into a powerful way to make a difference. Each year, she hosts a Twitch stream to educate viewers about sepsis and raise funds for Sepsis Alliance in honor of her father.

Her dedication is a meaningful example of how personal passion can become a platform for awareness, advocacy, and impact. We are proud to recognize Shelby and grateful for her continued commitment to helping improve outcomes for patients and families affected by sepsis.

Please join us in congratulating Shelby on this well-deserved recognition!

Raising awareness can take many forms. Whether you share sepsis education, tell your story, request a proclamation, organize an event, or simply start a conversation, every effort helps more people learn the signs and symptoms of sepsis.

As an example, Ed and Lori contacted the Seattle Mariners and planned a sepsis awareness event this September! If you’re in the Seattle area, you can support Ed and Lori’s efforts and join us for Sepsis Awareness Night on September 22 as the Mariners take on the Astros!

A few weeks after surgery, Briana was still experiencing post-op pain and assumed it was a normal part of recovery.

After developing symptoms of a UTI, antibiotics were started. Within two days, the pain became severe, and something didn't feel right. Briana went to the ER.

The ER team recognized sepsis immediately and began treatment before lab results were even confirmed. Doctors later said that waiting another 6–8 hours could have led to septic shock. Early recognition and fast treatment saved Briana's life.

Three years ago, what was expected to be a routine hysterectomy for Danielle turned into a fight for survival.

After developing sepsis following surgery, in addition to facing cardiac arrest, organ failure, and a month-long hospital stay, doctors gave her just a 5% chance of survival.

Today, despite permanent kidney damage, she is grateful to be alive and sharing a powerful reminder that sepsis can happen after surgery and early recognition can save lives.

Three days after a routine hysterectomy surgery, Christopher was rushed to the hospital.

A perforated bowel during surgery led to sepsis, resulting in a three-month hospitalization followed by rehabilitation.

Recovery continues every day, with ongoing challenges affecting movement and speech, but the strength of a supportive community has made all the difference.
