The organization was founded in 2007, by Dr. Carl Flatley, whose daughter Erin died unnecessarily of sepsis when she was 23 years old. Sepsis Alliance was created to raise sepsis awareness among both the general public and healthcare professionals. Sepsis awareness can and does save lives, yet only 69% of American adults have ever heard the word. Sepsis Alliance gives a voice to the millions of people who have been touched by sepsis – to the survivors, and the friends and family members of those who have survived or who have died. Survivors and those left behind often feel as if they are alone.
“Carl Flatley and Sepsis Alliance have been leading the sepsis fight since 2007. Sepsis Alliance is responsible for critical improvements in sepsis awareness, education, and patient care globally. We are indebted to Carl, whose passion and perseverance has forever improved the sepsis landscape.” – Tex Kissoon, President, Global Sepsis Alliance
Sepsis Alliance is a founding member of the Global Sepsis Alliance (GSA). The GSA is working with over 120 organizations across the world toward a world free of sepsis.
