Stop Hospital Infections

> I just signed a quick petition to our local hospital
> asking them to release their infection track record to the
> public. I hope you will take a minute to sign it too! Consumers Union,
> the non-profit publisher of Consumer Reports, is sponsoring the
> petition on its "Stop Hospital Infections.org" website. Once they
> reach their goal of 100,000 signatures, they will send the
> petition and signatures to our local hospitals and publish the
> petition in a newspaper ad in communities with a large number of
> petitioners.
>
> Did you know that hospital infections cause 90,000 deaths each year?
> Several states have started to pass legislation requiring the public
> reporting of local hospital infection rates. But our local
> hospitals can tell us what they know now! Many hospital infections can
> be prevented, and families in our community should be able to find out
> which hospitals have the best infection control track record.
>
> Please take a moment to sign the petition at
> www.stophospitalinfections.org and help shed some light on hospital
> safety in our area.
