Sepsis

In the US, sepsis claims at least 350,000 adult lives each year. It is one of the leading causes of hospital deaths, taking a life every two minutes and often contributing to one-third of all in-hospital deaths nationwide. 

Black individuals account for nearly 30,000 to 40,000 sepsis-related deaths annually, and they are impacted at roughly twice the rate of white Americans relative to population size.  

Unacceptable! Period!
