END SEPSIS, The Legacy of Rory Staunton, was founded in 2013 as the Rory Staunton Foundation for Sepsis Prevention following the undiagnosed, untreated, and preventable death of 12-year-old Rory Staunton from sepsis.
END SEPSIS is a movement of families and individuals across America and the globe who demand better infection education and hospital safety measures to ensure there are no more needless deaths from sepsis, a preventable and treatable disease. Our work impacts millions of lives through our advocacy for mandatory sepsis protocols in hospitals. We know that sepsis deaths are preventable and we are committed to challenging the federal government to support sepsis programs and keep families safe.
The Foundation’s activities have been featured on The Today Show, NPR, the Dr. Oz Show, The New York Times, and People Magazine, exposing sepsis to over 40 million readers. END SEPSIS, the Legacy of Rory Staunton, has successfully spearheaded the most aggressive public battles to end sepsis and is the single source of cutting-edge, action-based initiatives to keep our families safe and end this public health emergency.
