Sepsis Alliance, the first and leading sepsis organization in the U.S., seeks to save lives and reduce suffering by improving sepsis awareness and care. Sepsis is the leading cost of care and cause of death in U.S. hospitals: more than 1.7 million Americans are diagnosed with sepsis each year, and more than 350,000 U.S. adults die from the condition annually. Over 50% of sepsis survivors experience lingering complications, which can include amputations and post-sepsis syndrome. At Sepsis Alliance's founding in 2003, only 19% of U.S. adults were aware of the term "sepsis." After over ten years of educational efforts for the general public and healthcare professionals through Sepsis.org, Sepsis Alliance Institute, and Sepsis Alliance Voices, awareness is at 65%. Sepsis Alliance is the convener of Sepsis Innovation Collaborative, a multi-stakeholder public/private collaborative dedicated to innovations in sepsis diagnosis and management. Over 30,000 healthcare professionals across the country have attended sepsis webinars and courses to elevate their practice.
