Aveanna is honored to join the global community in celebrating Moebius Syndrome Awareness Day. This special day allows us to honor individuals living with the condition and raise awareness.

Moebius syndrome is a rare neurological disorder that results in facial paralysis, causing challenges in speaking, eating, and breathing. This congenital condition can impact anyone, regardless of their background. The theme for this year's awareness event is "The Faces Moving Us Forward," a celebration of everyday leaders living with Moebius Syndrome.

Today and every day, we commend the resilience of our patients living with Moebius syndrome and celebrate the advocates promoting education, research, and support. To learn more about Moebius Syndrome Awareness Day, visit https://pulse.ly/hjympp7bw6

Winter storm Fern may impact many of our patients and team members in the South and Northeast this weekend. Read more here: https://pulse.ly/3yh6i4hluw

We encourage everyone in affected areas to remain vigilant and be prepared for the effects of this storm including possible power outages and road closures.

We want to make sure our Aveanna community is prepared. Patients and their families should follow these tips based on guidance from the Oley Foundation:

• If there is a true medical emergency please call 911.

• Make sure you have back up power or batteries ready for any medical devices or pumps you depend on. Keep a battery powered radio and your cell phone charged so you can stay informed.

• Plug in any medical equipment or devices that need to be charged (e.g., ventilators, feeding pumps, mobile phones, etc.)

• Listen to appropriate warnings from governmental officials advising of precautions and evacuations.

• Check with home care suppliers and medical providers NOW to ensure that you have enough medications and nutritional supplies (formula, HPN, etc.) to last at least 48–72 hours, in case of supply chain delays.

• Write down important telephone numbers in case you cannot access the contacts on your mobile phone. This includes, but is not limited to, your home care company branch, regional and national offices.

• For the most updated information on weather conditions visit the National Weather Service at https://pulse.ly/jp0ea8vsky

*If you are evacuated or relocated due to a weather emergency, notify your Aveanna team as soon as possible.

Be prepared and stay safe!

2026 is a particularly special year for Aveanna patient Kyle because he will be attending school for the first time!

Before coming to Aveanna, Kyle was unable to attend school without a nurse due to having a trach and vent. With his dedicated Aveanna care team by his side every step of the way, Kyle can attend school, make new friends, and grow. His family can rest assured that he is safe and cared for while he experiences new and exciting things in the classroom and beyond.

We can't wait to see all the things you'll accomplish this year at school, Kyle!

January is National Birth Defects Prevention Month, a time dedicated to increasing awareness about birth defects and highlighting ways to improve the lives of those living with these conditions.

The CDC reports that each year, approximately 1 in 33 babies in the U.S. is born with a birth defect. Common examples include cleft lips, spina bifida, and congenital heart defects. Although not all birth defects can be prevented, you can boost your chances of having a healthy baby by maintaining your health before and during pregnancy.

January is National Blood Donor Month, a special time to highlight the crucial role of blood donations and to honor those who give.

The American Red Cross states that every two seconds, someone in the U.S. requires blood. One donation can aid multiple patients, making your contribution vital in transforming lives. During the winter season, when seasonal weather and illnesses can impact blood drives, the need for consistent donations is even more important.

This month, become a lifeline for those in need! Find out more by visiting https://pulse.ly/twv3b0wfvs
