Sepsis Awareness for Seniors: Protecting your health and acting fast!

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that can occur when the body has an infection. The infection-fighting processes turn on the body, causing the organs to work poorly. Sepsis may progress to septic shock. Dr. Rebecca Shaffer, infectious disease physician, will empower you with the knowledge and tools needed to recognize sepsis early, initiate timely and appropriate therapy, and implement effective implementation strategies during this month’s Suburban Lecture on Wednesday, Feb. 12, from 1 to 2 p.m. via Zoom. This program is a partnership between The Friendship Heights Village Center and Suburban Hospital.
