Over eleven years ago, I was the recipient of a new artificial knee and, along with it, a surgical site infection. The diagnosis was methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) osteomyelitis. Since that time, I have undergone fifty-eight surgical procedures and been hospitalized well over two-hundred times-including visits for twelve unique septic shock events. As of today, I have had a total of three amputations (transfemoral, hip disarticulation, and hemipelvectomy), and still have low-grade MRSA bone colonization.This ordeal and my desire to prevent others from experiencing this type of prolonged infection led me to a career in patient advisory and advocacy related to reducing Healthcare Acquired Infections (HAIs). I serve as the coordinator of the [removed] research program’s HAI prevention patient engagement (in education and research) or ‘PEER’group which began in 2016. Having helped establish this partnership by securing Patient Centered Outcomes Research Initiative (PCORI) funding, this group became actively engaged with researchers to ensure the patient perspective is incorporated at all levels in patient-care planning.
