U.S. Veteran's Administration hospital systems is a shining example of taking action using ADI in their intensive care units, hospital-wide and now in their long-term care facilities. There is no reason why such an intervention is not mandated at all U.S. healthcare facilities. More and more patients are dying of MRSA every day and many patienst are left permanently disabled.

"We are all in this together and we need to work together; can we wait another decade “ the loss of life has already been too high from this preventable disease", states Jeanine Thomas.

MRSA Survivors Network is launching a new campaign this year “ 'The MRSA Infection Relief Program', and the 'Bandage Care Campaign', which will provide disadvantaged MRSA victims supplies to treat their surgical site infection wounds when at home. This is the first program of its kind in the U.S.

Jeanine Thomas states, "Many MRSA victims can not afford to change their wound dressings and risk amputation". Supplies will be mailed directly to them. The pilot program will start in Illinois and supplies have been donated by Covidien and Tec Labs.
