September is Sepsis Awareness Month Learn How You Can Protect Yourself and Your Loved Ones from Sepsis

Anyone can get an infection, and almost any infection can lead to sepsis. Sepsis is the body's extreme response to an infection and is a life-threatening medical emergency. If you or your loved one has an infection that's not getting better or is getting worse, act fast. Get medical care immediately.  September is Sepsis Awareness Month and CDC encourages patients and healthcare professionals to help raise awareness by sharing Get Ahead of Sepsis resources and learning how to protect themselves, their loved ones, and their patients from sepsis. Prepare for Sepsis Awareness Month:   Read about CDC’s efforts and commitment to addressing sepsis in our latest Safe Healthcare Blog post.  Download CDC’s Get Ahead of Sepsis toolkit to access communication tools and resources to make it easy for you and your organization to educate others about the early signs and symptoms and the need for prompt treatment of sepsis.  Explore and share materials for healthcare providers and patients to educate and protect themselves and their loved ones from sepsis.  Encourage implementation of the Hospital Sepsis Program Core Elements, which CDC developed to help clinicians, hospitals, and healthcare systems improve programs that support the care of patients with sepsis.  Help promote awareness by following CDC’s social media channels— Facebook, X, and Instagram —and posting information and graphics about Sepsis Awareness Month using the hashtags #SAM2025 or #GetAheadOfSepsis. You can also support CDC’s sepsis awareness work on social media by following Project Firstline on Facebook CDC Firstline, X CDC Firstline, and Instagram CDC Firstline and Antimicrobial Resistance on X CDC AR.  This Sepsis Awareness Month, help save lives.
