MORE ABOUT HELEN HASKELL

Helen Haskell is president of the grassroots organization Mothers Against Medical Error and co-director of the Empowered Patient Coalition. Since the medical error death of her young son Lewis in 2000, Helen has worked as an advocate in the areas of medical education reform, patient-activated rapid response, infection prevention, medical error disclosure, and patient empowerment, among others. In her home state of South Carolina, she was instrumental in the passage of the Lewis Blackman Patient Safety Act and has been closely involved in the passage and implementation of the Hospital Infection Disclosure Act. In 2007 her deceased son was honored with the state-sponsored endowment of the Lewis Blackman Chair of Patient Safety and Clinical Effectiveness.
