The Rory Staunton Foundation was established in honor of 12-year-old Rory Staunton, who needlessly lost his life to sepsis in 2012. We work to prevent the hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths and devastating disabilities caused by sepsis each year through: - Awareness to increase understanding of the dangers and signs of sepsis, promote rapid treatment, and encourage self-advocacy in the medical environment. - Education so that every school-age child in the country understands the science and signs of sepsis and the importance of infection prevention. - Sepsis Protocols that ensure rapid diagnosis and treatment of sepsis in hospitals and other medical settings. - Support for families affected by sepsis.
People's is one of the oldest, continuously running independent primary care clinics in the country. Established in 1970 by a group of volunteer doctors and nurses, People's has never wavered from its mission to improve the health of medically underserved and uninsured Central Texans by providing high quality, affordable health care with respect and dignity. Most People's patients are from working families not able to afford healthcare insurance premiums and whose employers do not offer healthcare insurance coverage. There are approximately 280,000 uninsured adults and children (1 in 4) in the Austin metropolitan area. People's serves as the medical home for over 11,000 patients in our community. Uninsured people have few health care options other than the emergency room. People's provides continuity of care that an Emergency Room simply is not designed to offer on a sliding scale basis according to patients' income.
This foundation was formed to promote awareness of children afflicted with Menkes disease. Menkes is a rare genetic disease that is commonly missed by the medical community because the signs and symptoms at birth and in early infancy are subtle and often confused with other diseases. Early treatment of symptoms is crucial for these children to maintain a sense of normalcy during their infancy and early childhood. Because of this we encourage prenatal genetic testing for neurological diseases. Our goal is to achieve improvements in Menkes research, healthcare, education, and community involvement through medical conferences, advertising, fundraising events and other similar endeavors. We would like to provide an example of brotherhood between friends and families who have lost loved ones to this disease. This can be achieved through a commitment to common charitable activities in honor of their loved one. This organization was founded in the memory and spirit of our son, Wesley Quinn Eckman to benefit everyone who suffers from Menkes.
