News & Events

Our recent HMS Collaborative Wide meeting took place on July 21st at Kellogg Hotel & Conference Center in East Lansing.

HMS was grateful to attend the Unite for Sepsis Symposium 2026 and join healthcare leaders, clinicians, researchers, survivors, and community partners in important conversations about improving sepsis outcomes across the full continuum of care. Sessions featuring Dr. Androni Henry, Dr. Kathryn Bowles, and keynote speaker Stephanie Taylor Parks underscored the need for aligned systems, early recognition, timely treatment, equitable care, and strong post-discharge support. HMS left encouraged by the shared commitment to driving system-level change that supports patients and families throughout every stage of sepsis treatment and recovery.

HMS Quality & Safety Program Manager Pat Posa visits Capitol Hill advocating for greater awareness, prevention, and timely treatment of sepsis. During Hill Day, Pat spoke with lawmakers about the need to improve sepsis education, support healthcare providers, strengthen hospital protocols, advance research, and ensure patients and families have the resources they need. HMS is grateful to stand alongside advocates, survivors, clinicians, families, and community leaders working to make sepsis a national priority.
