In 2024 we held out inaugural C. diff Scientific Symposium. The virtual event brought together clinicians scientists, nurses, pharmacists, industry professionals, and patients to intermingle and hear from 23 speakers for a day of collaboration and discovery. Ranging in topics from the Epidemiology of C. diff to Health-Related Quality of Life with CDI, attendees were able to hear updates on a wide variety of topics and learn about cutting-edge research, innovative treatments, and new prevention strategies. A highlight of the day was hearing directly from patients who courageously shared their experiences through powerful testimonials. (Schedule O).

This year, our campaign these was See C. diff Diagnosed and centered around the critical need for early and accurate diagnosis of C. diff. As part of this campaign, we highlighted the 4 Elements of Diagnosing C. diff Infections, ranging from patient history to imaging. The campaign underscored the need for better understanding of C. diff diagnostic tools and equitable access, driving home that accurate diagnosis is the first step in treatment. We were able to engage millions across our social media channels and website. Peggy Lillis Foundation CEO Christian John Lillis and several PLF Advocates were featured across several notable outlets, such as CDC Safe Healthcare Blog, Pharmacy Times and Medscape.
