Robena Reid's mother, Marie, entered a Boston area hospital in December of 2006. Her mother was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer affecting the pleural membrane surrounding her lungs. While in the hospital, her mother contracted an intestinal infection caused by Clostridium difficile. Because of this hospital-acquired infection, her mother was unable to receive treatment for the cancer and passed away shortly after. Robena has become an advocate for improving care and testified at the Massachusetts State House to encourage public reporting of hospital-acquired infection.
