September is #sepsisawarenessmonth Our namesake, Peggy, developed Sepsis as a result of her C. diff infection and tragically passed as a result. All this month, please join us and our friends at @SepsisAlliance this month in learning more about the signs and symptoms of Sepsis.
We must take action to ensure that every woman and every mother in our nation has the maternal health care she needs to thrive. These statistics are unacceptable.
We are proud to support @PeggyFund as they launch their Nutrition & Lifestyle Guide for C. diff Recovery! The Guide provides information, resources & recipes to those suffering from C. diff or trying to prevent recurrences.
