September is Sepsis Awareness Month.
The Sepsis Alliance initially designated September as Sepsis Awareness month in 2011.
A Sepsis Awareness Month toolkit is available through Sepsis Alliance’s webpage.
The Sepsis Alliance released a toolkit that provides agencies with handouts to spread the word about sepsis, fundraiser information, event hosting, Sepsis awareness SWAG, public service announcements, do-it-yourself sepsis community presentations and Sepsis informational guides.
Approximately 270,000 lives are lost every year in the United States as a result of Sepsis, according to Sepsis Alliance.
