Sepsis is the 3rd leading killer in America*

Disabling and killing millions, sepsis is a toxic response to infection or injury. Sepsis is a medical emergency that requires early detection and treatment for survival.

Experts believe that Sepsis will prove to be the #1 killer in the world. Often associated with disease, trauma or post-surgical complications, Sepsis can be triggered by a nicked cuticle or a skinned knee. All ages are vulnerable. Seniors more so. American ICUs spend $20 Billion a year fighting Sepsis. Someone dies from Sepsis every 2 1/2 minute.

The Sepsis Alliance is a 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to the deployment of a global system supporting education, early recognition, and effective treatment. The core mission of the Sepsis Alliance is to connect patients, families, and medical professionals with the tools to successfully combat sepsis.
