Safe Care Campaign | Contact Us

Safe Care Campaign was founded by Victoria

and Armando Nahum in 2006 after 3 different members of their family were infected in 3 different hospitals in 3 different states in just 10 months’ time.

Their son, Joshua died from an infection acquired in the hospital, but not until after bacteria in his skull caused so much pressure around his brain that it pushed part of his brain into his spinal column, making him a permanent ventilator-dependent quadriplegic.

He was 27.
