Clostridium difficile State Proclamations
November Awareness 2017
November is Clostridium difficile Awareness Month and it is an exciting time for fundraising and gatherings for families, clinicians, and organizations. Governors in several states honor our effort by signing proclamations declaring November to be Clostridium difficile Awareness Month in their states. These proclamations are available to you and they can be downloaded for your use.
So far, in 2017 — Signed State Proclamations have been received:
Submitted and in progress: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, North Dakota,
New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Maine, Maryland, New Mexico,
Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming
This year, our goal is to obtain proclamations in all 50 states. Denise Graham, Strategic Advisor of the C Diff Foundation, proudly leads the Clostridium difficile (C. diff., C. difficile) State Proclamation effort.
