TEMECULA, CA--(Marketwire - March 8, 2010) - FFF Enterprises, the nation's most trusted distributor of plasma products, vaccines and critical-care biopharmaceuticals, announced today that it will commemorate National Patient Safety Awareness Week (PSAW), March 7 through 13, 2010, with a multi-faceted safety awareness campaign. FFF has long made patient safety and education a priority, and the company website currently features several informative articles, including Is Your Medicine Safe?, Making Safety a Priority, and a recent message from company chief executive officer Patrick M. Schmidt titled "Safety First!" FFF is also sending a patient safety communication to its IG Living magazine subscribers to provide helpful tips for patients living with chronic illnesses on how to communicate with healthcare providers. Additionally, FFF's website houses informative, downloadable resources for both patients and healthcare providers, including pharmacy safety checklists and tips on preventing infection. To access all of the FFF safety week communications, go to www.fffenterprises.com.
Now in its 22nd year and with a perfect safety record, FFF has widened its scope by becoming a well-respected publisher of two magazines focused on healthcare issues. IG Living is the only magazine dedicated to patients living with immune deficiency and their healthcare providers, and the award-winning BioSupply Trends Quarterly (BSTQ) is a content-rich resource for timely, newsworthy and critical information impacting the biopharmaceuticals marketplace. Not surprisingly, the theme of the upcoming April issue of BSTQ is "Safety." The content in this important issue is broad and deep, exploring the ongoing vulnerabilities in the supply chain and looking at meaningful measures to prevent counterfeiting.

PSAW is a national education and awareness-building campaign sponsored by the National Patient Safety Foundation. The campaign aims to improve patient safety at the local level through the sponsoring of educational activities that encourage patients to become involved in their own healthcare.
