The Immunocompromised by Immunocompromised Association is focused on promoting awareness for immunocompromised individuals’ needs to reduce the health risks they face at home, in medical centers, and out in their communities.
The Immunocompromised Door Hanger is our first piece of signage available for patients to non-verbally communicate their immunocompromised status without sharing personal health information. Order your free door hanger today!
These door hangers were inspired by patients and families who shared stories of encounters with healthcare providers, coworkers, friends, and family who entered their rooms or homes without thinking to take precautions to avoid getting them sick. Immunocompromised people can get serious illnesses more easily that are harder to clear, but their visitors can learn to take precautions to avoid unknowingly spreading infectious particles.
The Immunocompromised Door Hanger — for both healthcare and non-healthcare settings — is a simple reminder to pause, think, and take small actions like washing your hands or wearing a mask to protect our immunocompromised patients, neighbors, coworkers, and loved ones.

Immunocompromised people can get sick more frequently, more severely, and have a harder time recovering from illnesses from commonplace pathogens. When you see the Immunocompromised Door Hanger, you can pause and take simple steps to reduce the risk of spreading preventable infections to the person inside:
Your choices matter, and you can help make your community a safer place. Thank you for thinking of the immunocompromised community!
Our door hangers can help protect patients in healthcare settings by reminding healthcare providers and visitors that they are entering an immunocompromised individual’s room to avoid potentially spreading infections. They can also support patients in their communities by reminding neighbors, coworkers, friends, family, and other individuals of simple precautions they can take when entering an office, room, or home to avoid getting someone with a compromised immune system sick. The Immunocompromised Door Hanger is meant to remind those in proximity to immunocompromised individuals how to show care without disclosing any of their personal health information.
If you are a patient, request your free door hanger in the form below. We can send one door hanger per person.
If you work with immunocompromised individuals and would like to order a package of door hangers for your health center, company, or community group, please reach out directly at info@ImmunocompromisedAssociation.org for more details or fill out the form at the bottom of this webpage.
