| Mission |
The mission of Americans Mad and Angry! is to inform and educate patients, consumers, business leaders and legislators about the destructive and devastating effect that medical errors, healthcare acquired infections and the medical shroud of secrecy and deceit has on so many individuals and families who use our healthcare delivery system. Because the status quo is no longer acceptable, our mission is also to create, unite and galvanize an informed constituency that can help facilitate the much needed changes necessary to make our healthcare system safe for everyone.
