Sepsis: It’s About TIME ™ is a national initiative to raise awareness of sepsis and the urgent need to seek treatment when symptoms are recognized. This campaign featured celebrity advocate, Angelica Hale, and was the winner of the prestigious platinum MarCom Award, three gold MarCom Awards, and a 2019 platinum Hermes Creative Award.
In 2021, Sepsis Alliance launched an educational awareness campaign to highlight the connection between antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and sepsis. A global survey was launched and revealed that only half of adults surveyed (52%) were aware of the term antimicrobial resistance. In the following years, this campaign has motivated the creation of the Sepsis Alliance AMR Conference for healthcare professionals, advocacy efforts surrounding the PASTEUR Act, and a follow-up survey of C-suite healthcare executives.
Erin’s Campaign for Kids aims to combat the high incidence and mortality rates of sepsis among children. The campaign creates training programs and resources for nurses and other health professionals to help identify and treat sepsis in children.
The campaign is named to honor Erin Kay Flatley, an aspiring teacher, who died from sepsis that developed following a routine surgery at the age of 23. Erin’s spirit lives on through the creation of Sepsis Alliance.
In 2010, Sepsis Alliance and Harris Interactive conducted a poll to get a better understanding of how many people in the United States could recognize the word “sepsis.” Results showed that the majority of Americans had never heard the word and of those who had heard it, many did not know what it meant. Repeat polls have been done each year, showing the progress that is being made.
