The Rory Staunton Foundation for Sepsis
We established The Rory Staunton Foundation after our son’s death from sepsis in April 2012. Our overriding goal is to ensure that no other child or young adult dies of sepsis resulting from the lack of a speedy diagnosis and immediate medical treatment.
Our Mission
- To reduce the number of sepsis-caused deaths through:
Raising public awareness of sepsis through education and awareness programs to promote faster diagnosis and effective treatment for children and young adults - Improving medical diagnosis of sepsis, particularly pediatric sepsis, through the implementation of rapid treatment protocols and improved communication between parents and medical staff in hospitals and medical clinics
- Supporting those affected by sepsis and providing a platform for their voices to be heard.

- Provide a web platform to inspire action; cultivate friendly competition; provide content and resources to nurses; gather data; and connect nurses with each other, employers, and organizations.

The DAISY Award For Extraordinary Nurses (The DAISY Award) – to honor the super-human work nurses do for patients and families every day. In creating The DAISY Award, there were three elements we wanted to ensure our recognition program included:
- A partnership with healthcare organizations to provide on-going recognition of the clinical skill and especially the compassion nurses demonstrate at the bedside all year long.
- Flexibility so that The DAISY Award may be tailored to each hospital’s unique culture and values.
- A turn-key program with The DAISY Foundation providing most everything you need to implement The DAISY Award.
