Groups from across Illinois - community organizations, patient advocacy groups, nurse associations, block clubs, and more - are joining together to improve the quality of care in Illinois hospitals.

Your organization can help promote safe patient care by signing on to the CAMPAIGN FOR SAFE PATIENT CARE GOALS and by helping us reach patients who want to communicate their experiences and concerns. Not enough has been done to improve patient safety in the ten years since the Institute of Medicine estimated that up to 98,000 patients die every year from preventable medical errors. We know that more informed consumers and better nurse staffing will help reduce medical errors and improve the quality of care.

We all pay a staggering price for medical errors - especially patients and their families. With your support we can and will make our hospitals safer places.
