💜 September is Sepsis Awareness Month. A common infection can turn into a life-threatening emergency very fast. Sepsis is the body's extreme, rapid response to an infection, and without quick medical care, it can lead to organ failure and worse.
At Haynes, we see this daily, and it was our pleasure to participate with Baptist Health's " Sepsis Survivor and Heroes Against Sepsis" event at the DeBoer Building! Visiting with fellow survivors, grieving families, and dedicated healthcare heroes was an unforgettable reminder of strength, community, and hope.
Know the T.I.M.E. Signs of Sepsis:
Early recognition saves lives. Remember these key symptoms and seek emergency care immediately if you notice them:
T – Temperature: High fever, shivering, or feeling very cold
I – Infection: Signs or symptoms of a recent infection, wound, or cut
M – Mental decline: New confusion, sleepiness, or hard to wake up
E – Extremely ill: Severe pain, extreme discomfort, or shortness of breath
Let’s keep spreading the word, honoring survivors, and remembering those we’ve lost. Awareness is our best tool for early treatment!
