    The Foundation has been a catalyst for change through education since 2007, including such efforts as leading a coalition of governmental agencies, professional organizations, and healthcare industry partners to create a national safe injection practice campaign for patients and healthcare providers.

    Ongoing activities for the HONOReform Foundation include:

    • “The One and Only Campaign” – a patient/provider campaign that educates about the need for “One Needle, One Syringe, and Only One Time.”
    • Provision of educational materials (including “A Never Event”).
    • Participation in public educational forums and conferences.
    • Education of policy makers regarding defects in our present medical/legal/disaster response systems without a specific policy recommendation or “call to action.”
