Heading back to school with a feeding tube can feel intimidating, but preparation goes a long way toward creating a positive experience.

During Gastroparesis Awareness Month this August, Aveanna recognizes the challenges faced by individuals living with gastroparesis and help shine a light on this often-overlooked condition.

Gastroparesis is a chronic digestive disorder that causes the stomach to empty more slowly than it should, resulting in symptoms that can affect daily life and overall well-being. Over 5 million people in the United States are estimated to live with the condition, and in many cases, the cause is unknown.

By raising awareness and fostering understanding, we can help support those impacted by gastroparesis while encouraging advancements in treatment and care. Learn more by visiting https://pulse.ly/wmwlkoa4tt

When Blake joined Aveanna in 2024 after a 6-month stay in the NICU, he instantly formed a connection with Nurse Kaitlyn.

Through the years, she's been his cheerleader for every developmental milestone, an advocate for his care, and a devoted part of his Aveana team. With Blake's complex medical and respiratory needs, Kaitlyn's guidance has given his family stability in his care journey since leaving the hospital.

"Knowing Blake has a nurse who treats him with such kindness, patience, and genuine care gives our family so much peace of mind," said his family. "We are truly grateful for everything she does—not just for Blake, but for our entire family. She has made such a positive difference our lives."

Thank you to all our Aveanna nurses for the incredible care, compassion, and dedication you show patients like Blake every day.

Throughout August, Aveanna recognizes Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Awareness Month. This important observance provides an opportunity to increase understanding of SMA, raise awareness about the condition, and honor the individuals and families whose lives are impacted by it.

SMA is a genetic neuromuscular disorder that gradually weakens the muscles responsible for movement and everyday activities. It can affect functions such as walking, eating, and breathing. In the United States, SMA is estimated to affect approximately one in every 15,000 births.

This month, we join communities across the country in recognizing those affected by SMA, celebrating their resilience, and encouraging greater awareness, education, and support for individuals living with the condition.
