Welcome to Feeding Tube Awareness Month!
Every February, families, clinicians, researchers, partners, supporters, and others in our global community unite to raise awareness about the challenges of feeding tube dependency. Our community, over 3 million strong, spans all ages and outcomes worldwide.
We are so thankful for the numerous ways we can reshape enteral nutrition, creating brighter futures for many families.
The isolation our families face is something we understand deeply. Having experienced feeding tube dependency with our children, we've learned that connecting as a community makes us stronger.
We're excited to share the multitude of stories that illustrate not only the transformation of FTF since its inception but also the daily triumphs within our community, whether online or in-person, continually redefining hope.
We invite you to join our cause and have provided several ways to participate this February—and in all the Februaries to come—in our toolkit.
Stay tuned as we regularly update our calendar of events and introduce more tools for use throughout February!
