Friday 8:00 a.m. ET – 5:00 p.m. ET with limited on-call weekends, to learn more about C. diff. Prevention, Diagnosis, Symptoms and Transmission Treatments, Environmental Safety and Support Worldwide.

The C Diff Foundation, a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization, established in 2012, and comprised of 100% volunteering professionals dedicated at supporting public health through education and advocating for C. difficile infection (CDI) prevention, treatments, environmental safety, and support worldwide. There are many avenues connected to C. difficile infections which lead the C Diff Foundation Members and Volunteer Patient Advocates down adjacent roads raising awareness of antibiotic-resistance, antibiotic stewardship programs, Sepsis, and a multitude of general wellness topics with fellow Government, Medical Provider, and Cause specific organizations; MD mag, Sepsis Alliance, CDC, Global Sepsis Alliance to name a few.

The Foundation’s founder is a Nurse and after suffering through C. difficile infections herself and witnessing the loss of her Father, whose life was claimed by C. difficile involvement, the
C Diff Foundation came to fruition. The C Diff Foundation Members, with their
Volunteer Patient Advocates, successfully “Raise C. diff. Awareness” nationwide and in fifty-six (56) countries and host a U.S. Nationwide information Hot-Line (1-844-FOR-CDIF) to support health care providers, patients, and families manage through the difficulties of
a C. diff. infection among many other programs.

The continued global support of the C Diff Foundation’s mission is through collaborative efforts from healthcare providers, the general public, medical healthcare organizations, healthcare professionals, government agencies, villages to communities, which will result in positive results in the reduction of newly diagnosed Clostridium difficile cases and preventable deaths. In the USA: Nearly half a million Americans suffer from Clostridium difficile (C. diff.) infections in a single year according to a study released February 25, 2015 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). **Approximately 29,000 patients died within 30 days of the initial diagnosis of C. difficile. Of those, about 15,000 deaths were estimated to be directly attributable to C. difficile infections (CDI), making C. difficile a very important cause of infectious disease death in the United States. More than 80 percent of the deaths associated with C. difficile occurred among Americans aged 65 years or older. C. difficile causes an inflammation of the colon and deadly diarrhea.

MODERATOR 's NOTE:

I don't know much about this organization except it has been around for awhile. It looks as though it offers phone support. I am not recommending the organization but suggest you might look into it. We all need all the information and support we can get.

Hopefully, I will be able to attend this. If anyone else is coming for it, it might be nice to have a get together.
