Today, we remember and honor Emily Jerry on what would have been her 21st birthday. Emily’s life was tragically cut short at just 2 years old due to a preventable IV compounding error—an unimaginable loss that no parent should ever have to endure.

From this heartbreak, her father, Christopher Jerry, turned his grief into a mission: to ensure no other family experiences the same tragedy. Through the Emily Jerry Foundation, he has dedicated his life to patient safety advocacy, fighting for better pharmacy standards, and raising awareness about the critical importance of precision in medication preparation. Over the summer, we had the privilege of speaking with Chris about Emily’s story and the foundation’s impact. His strength, resilience, and unwavering dedication are truly inspiring.

As we remember Emily today on her birthday, we commit to continuing the work she inspired—to ensure every patient is treated with the care and safety they deserve. We invite you to watch Chris’s interview and join us in remembering a beautiful life taken too soon, but never forgotten. 💛
