Sepsis Alliance is pleased to announce that Dr. Rivers is also a 2020 Sepsis Hero.

Dr. Rivers has been at the forefront of sepsis research and care for several years, and has published several articles on sepsis diagnosis and management. His landmark paper, published in November 2001, supported and expanded early goal directed therapy. This improved early sepsis care to all hospitalized patients who had signs of severe sepsis or septic shock. This approach expanded the hospital landscape to include patients from the emergency department, general practice floors, and the critical care unit. Facilities across the country took notice of this concept and adapted it to suit their needs and save lives.
