The Empowered Patient Coalition provides resources enabling patients to take control of their medical treatments.

Families Fighting Flu is a non-profit, volunteer-based organization established in 2004 that is made up of families and health care practitioners. Each family has experienced first-hand the death of a child due to the flu or has had a child experience severe medical complications from the flu. We are dedicated to educating people about the severity of influenza and the importance of vaccinating children against the flu every year. Through education and advocacy, we hope to improve the rates of childhood flu vaccinations and help reduce the number of childhood illnesses and deaths caused by the flu each year.

Whether it is the difficulty of walking past a now-empty bedroom, or the sadness in never seeing a young niece or nephew celebrate another birthday, losing a loved one has left an incredible emptiness in our lives. This site is a way for individuals to realize that they are not alone in this fight against the flu and to channel their grief into helping to save others by encouraging annual flu vaccination for all children in the U.S.
