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/xfjj4rkf3c

August was born with cystic fibrosis and spent the first ten months of her life in the hospital fighting for each breath. After receiving a G-tube, trach, and vent, Auggie needed nursing care and medical supplies to make her homecoming possible. That’s when the local Aveanna team came to her rescue.

Auggie was discharged from the hospital just before Thanksgiving, and Aveanna was right there to welcome her. Her parents and big sister were overjoyed, and Auggie couldn’t contain her excitement – bouncing in her chair and grinning at everyone until she finally wiped out, exhausted by the best day ever.

It is our honor to help bring families home for the holidays across the country each year. If you’d like to help make holiday memories possible for patients like August, join our team today at https://pulse.ly/hf8j9j6ks9!

All week long, we’ve been highlighting the importance of handwashing for National Handwashing Awareness Week. As we head into the holidays—when we’re gathering with loved ones, traveling, and sharing meals—clean hands are one of the simplest ways to keep everyone healthy.

Take 20 seconds with soap and water before/after gatherings, shopping trips, and caring for loved ones. This small habit can make a big impact!
