McCleary MRSA Prevention

On September 28, 2010, my colleague Lori Nurbonne had her first official Board of Directors meeting for the NHPV.  This is Lori’s new non profit organization.  Her goals are ambitious and excellent.  She hopes to help patients of NH hospital become safer and infection free.  She will do this by advocating for them, collecting their stories, proposing legislation for patient safety and working with her board, her family and friends, victims and with the Consumers Union to promote higher quality, safer care for all NH residents. 

Her quest was started after her own mother died of avoidable medical errors and infections.  Unfortunately, this has happened to most of us who do the same kind of work.  Our loved ones have suffered and sometimes died because the hospital they were in failed to diagnose, treat, or prevent error or infection.

Lori is an intellegent, inquisitive, savvy advocate.  She will undoubtedly accomplish everything she sets out to do.  I am proud to be on her Board and I wish her the best of luck in her endeavors.
