Meet Our Team


Karen Aydt Curtiss, Founder karen2
In 2005, Karen’s father, Bill Aydt, passed away after suffering a dozen preventable medical errors following a lung transplant for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. A few months later, her husband, Sandy, nearly succumbed to errors in routine surgery and in his care afterward.

Fueled by grief, anger and regret, Karen spent the next three years researching how she, as their advocate, could have been better informed and prepared to prevent the medical errors that took her father’s life and jeopardized her husband’s.

The result is campaignZERØ™ for all families who sit bedside, watching and praying for their loved one’s safe recovery.

Karen has written a manuscript, Someone With You: Navigating the Healthcare World for Someone You Love, represented by the Ruth Mills Literary Agency. Her iPhone application, DoubleCheckRx, developed to help prevent medication error, can be found in the iTunes store.  E-mail Karen.
