Our Sepsis Stories
The goal of Our Sepsis Stories is to put a face on sepsis and bring awareness and educate the public about sepsis, what can trigger it and how it affects patients and their families. Our Sepsis Stories have been submitted by sepsis survivors, family members and the loved ones of those lost to sepsis.
The stories and opinions posted in Our Sepsis Stories are those of the authors and do not reflect the opinions of the Canadian Sepsis Foundation, its employees, contractors, or volunteers.
