HUGE FEDERAL POLICY WIN! 🥳 The Congenital Heart Futures Reauthorization Act which continues the work of the National Congenital Heart Disease Research, Surveillance, and Awareness Program has been signed into law! 🫀 This legislation is critical to the Down syndrome community as 50% of individuals with Down syndrome are born with a congenital heart defect. NDSS was proud to champion this legislation alongside our friends at Conquering CHD and is appreciative of the bipartisan leadership in Congress. 💙 Read more about the personal impact of this bill on advocates Doug and Jenna here: https://lnkd.in/etQ9UUsT 💛 Thank your members of Congress for supporting this bill here: https://lnkd.in/e4px4Ksf

Sepsis is the body's extreme response to an infection and is a life-threatening medical emergency. It ranks as the third leading cause of death in the United States. It can lead to tissue damage, organ failure, and death, especially if not recognized and treated promptly. Symptoms include fever, increased heart rate, increased breathing rate, and confusion. Early recognition and treatment are crucial for survival. If you suspect sepsis, seek medical attention immediately. #Prenosis #texashealth

We’re thrilled to share that Texas has officially proclaimed September as Sepsis Awareness Month! Sepsis Survivor Julia is one of many advocates in the state who reached out to Governor Abbott to encourage him to make this important declaration. “Though I still face the long-lasting effects of sepsis, I am grateful for every breath I take,” she shares. “I channel my experience into advocating for sepsis awareness, determined to prevent others from enduring what I went through. My hope is that by sharing my story, I can empower others to be proactive about their health and create a meaningful impact in the fight against this silent and deadly condition.” Are you ready to raise your voice for sepsis awareness, just like Julia?
