Sorrell King

Sorrel King founded the Josie King Foundation in 2001 with her husband Tony after their daughter Josie died as a result of medical errors. The Josie King Foundation supports innovative patient safety programs that influence the way safety is incorporated into medical care. The Josie King Pediatric Patient Safety Program and the Johns Hopkins Hospital's Children's Center, the Condition H - Josie King Patient Safety Call Line at UPMC - Shadyside Hospital, and Dr. Albert Wu's work on disclosure training all received initial funding from the Josie King Foundation and currently serve as models for patient safety programs across the country.
Sorrel is a leading advocate for improving patient safety. As a public speaker, she brings Josie's powerful story and the successes of Foundation-sponsored safety initiatives to wide audiences to ensure that what happened to Josie will never happen to another patient.

The Josie King Foundation's mission is to prevent others from dying or being harmed by medical errors. By uniting healthcare providers and consumers, and funding innovative safety programs, we hope to create a culture of patient safety, together.

On February 22, 2001, eighteen-month old Josie King died from medical errors.

98,000 people die every year from medical errors, making it the fourth leading cause of death in the United States.

The Josie King Foundation’s mission is to prevent others from dying or being harmed by medical errors. By uniting healthcare providers and consumers, and funding innovative safety programs, we hope to create a culture of patient safety, together.

Silent Auction Challenge

PPAG would like to challenge it members to pull together and donate to the silent auction a themed basket or box. Get together with others in your institution or region to put together a basket of items that are unique to your city/state/region to share a "taste" of your home. If you would prefer, choose another theme such as a coffee basket, chocolate basket or children's book basket. It does not have to be big or tall or even in a basket. There will be awards given for the most creative as well as the basket which goes for the highest bid! Start thinking and get creative!
