• What We Do

  Preventable hospital hazards claim almost 300,000 lives in America every year. Another 3,700,000 Americans are harmed, but blessed to survive.
  
  Most of these deaths and injury are among older patients, and most are the result of a strained health care system seriously short on nurses and other critical resources.
  
  CampaignZERØ™ offers simple explanations about how common hospital hazards occur and easy checklists to help families safeguard their loved ones' care in the hospital.
