A Mom Fights for Patient Safety, with Sue Sheridan

After her infant son suffered due to a succession of medical errors, Sue worked tirelessly to prevent this from happening to others, starting by writing letters to the health care regulatory bodies until she and a group of mothers had formed a nonprofit and put out guidelines for the regulatory bodies to follow.

With this she redoubled her efforts to lead us to a safer health system.
