SafeCareCampaign

Safe Care Campaign was founded by Victoria and Armando Nahum in 2006 after 3 different members of their family were infected in 3 different hospitals in 3 different states in just 10 months' time.

Their son, Joshua died from an infection acquired in the hospital, but not until after gram negative bacteria in his skull caused so much pressure around his brain that it pushed part of his brain into his spinal column, making him a permanent ventilator - dependent quadriplegic. He was 27.

We wish to gratefully acknowledge and humbly thank those who have become our colleagues who graciously welcomed us into this shared effort of infection prevention and patient safety those many years ago. We continue to appreciate the hard work of all those who have dedicated their own lives to the important cause of good, safe care within the American healthcare environment.
