September is Sepsis Awareness Month, a time dedicated to shedding light on a life-threatening condition that often goes unrecognized until it’s too late. Sepsis occurs when the body’s response to an infection spirals out of control, leading to organ damage and, in severe cases, death. To help raise awareness, highlight prevention strategies, and share resources, we’ve rounded up five key sepsis-related events and initiatives happening this month. This week’s Friday Five offers a quick look at how organizations, healthcare providers, and communities are coming together to fight sepsis and save lives.
