Our Story and mission for
Improved Patient safety…
We believe when a cause is fueled by determined corporate might, guided with the heart of a non-profit, great things will be born. The SterileAware™ hybrid is about bringing to the market solutions and awareness for lowering HAI’s. Observation from our founder’s hospital bed when sick with an HAI was the catalyst for creating solutions for better patient safety. Exciting things are happening as we build this platform, come, and watch as our mission grows…
A challenging journey ahead
The SterileAware™ Mission is to examine healthcare-associated infections and deliver solutions engendered by our think tank. The mission will also include a campaign of awareness to the public about the dangers of cross-contamination and sterility loss at hospitals.
The SterileAware™ Podcast goes live
The SterileAware™ Podcast will provide insight on the Hospital born infection story with interviews with leading experts in HAI’s. The SterileAware™ Podcast is hosted by our founder Charlie Webb, an award-winning podcaster and host of the popular Healthcare packaging Podcast “SPOT radio”. Stay up to date with the SterileAware™ story. Listen now
SterileAware™ on stage at the MD&M
SterileAware™ founder Charlie Webb CPPL presented the SterileAware™ story on the pack place stage at the Medical Device Manufacturing Expo this past February. Webb reported, “I was amazed with the excitement generated from my talk, so many connections asking to get involved, we are clearly on an important path”. Expect more speaking dates ahead.
More than just a mission of awareness, we bring action…
We support our industry.
Supporting education in healthcare
Our goal is to provide education support specific to healthcare packaging and processing to foster enrollment in this discipline. If we are planning to meet the demands of delivering medical devices safe and sterile to the patient, we will need to enlist more talent for this growing segment. We will also provide financial support to students attending national healthcare packaging and processing conferences and expos.
Healthcare packaging laboratory
SterileAware™ will have access to an ISO-17025 medical device packaging testing laboratory thanks to our cooperation with Van der Stahl Scientific, one of our corporate supporters. The use of this laboratory will allow us to examine solutions to sterility loss of medical devices during the journey to the patient’s bedside. The availability of this empirical lab will be an important part of our think tanks toolkit
Our medical device packaging system improvement Project.

Industry connecting to a cause
Supporting advanced technology
Another important piece of our “innovation partners program” is to connect medical device manufacturers, hospitals, and clinics with technology that will better serve the aim of managing hospital associate infections. To avoid a conflict of interest it’s important to disclose that we will work with supporting partners, however, any technology that meets our goals can be included.
Solutions born from collaboration
Our “innovation partners program” is an innovation incubator designed to imagine new technologies that will serve to mitigate the spread of hospital associate infections. Improved packaging and medical device pouch testing systems will be our first target as we can leverage our 27 years of experience. Stay tuned as we take aim at patient safety.
We bought a van, and we have a plan. It’s time for a Road trip.
At SterileAware™ we will push the term “dispersed workplace” to a higher level as we weave work and our personal travel together on an epic Road-trip. We purchased a 4X4 van that will serve as our mobile office and living quarters as we circumnavigate the western US. We plan on dropping into hospitals and clinics to leave behind infographic posters as well as awareness bracelets, and we hope to book a few talks along the way…
