Facing Facts

This is a “gallery” we never wanted to create –photos of our loved ones who died of hospital-acquired infections.

Click on a photograph to learn more of their story.

Each person here is irreplaceable. If your loved one has also suffered from one of these infections, our deepest condolences to you. If you would like to send us a photograph and details of your experience, please email to infectiondefense@gmail.com. Meantime please pass along the word about hospital-acquired infections so we won’t have to keep adding faces to this gallery.

"My father should have come home after surgery, but instead died March 28, 2008 after 5 horrible months in intensive care of a C-diff infection. We are all inconsolable. I can't bring back my father, or lesson our tremendous grief. But knowing what I know now, I would not hesitate to get an Infection Defense Kit, and I would urge any caregiver to do the same. It could give your parent or loved one one a fighting chance”

--Gregory Gardner, Son of the late John Gardner
