Feeding Tube Awareness Week

Feeding Tube Awareness Week
Feeding Tube Awareness Week is recognized globally during the first week of February. Feeding tubes, a remarkable innovation of modern medicine, have saved millions of lives and significantly improved infant survival rates.
In 2011, the Feeding Tube Awareness Foundation established this dedicated week to highlight the critical role feeding tubes play in the lives of individuals. Each February, families of patients and survivors unite to share how feeding tubes have positively impacted their lives while also addressing and challenging the stigma surrounding their use.
