Throughout August, Aveanna is proud to recognize Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Awareness Month. This important awareness event is an opportunity for us to spread awareness about the disease and highlight the experiences of those who live with it.
SMA is a hereditary neurological condition that causes muscles to progressively become weaker, eventually leading to issues with activities such as eating, walking, and breathing. SMA affects about one in every 15,000 births in the United States.
Throughout this month, we recognize those who have been affected by SMA and take time to understand and promote greater awareness of the condition. To learn more about Spinal Muscular Atrophy, visit https://pulse.ly/1d7ob4duof
