✨ Holiday Cheer Delivered! ✨
Our Second Annual Holiday Sock Drive in partnership with the Anderson College of Nursing & Health Professions was a huge success — all thanks to UNA’s incredible nursing students and staff! Together, they collected over 255 pairs of cozy socks for dialysis patients in the Shoals. 💜

A big shoutout to the Level 2 nursing students, who won the friendly competition and earned themselves a well-deserved pizza party for collecting the most socks! 🍕🎉

We are grateful for the amazing students who helped assemble our holiday bags:
🌟 Grace Williams
🌟 Kaylee Steele
🌟 Amelia Lopez
🌟 Kreysa Canale
🌟 Mia Battle

And the dedicated staff helpers:
💛 Vickie Green
💛 Rebecca Canterberry
💛 Lisa Harrington

Special thanks to the Student Nursing Association for their generous donation that allowed our cutest little elves to pick out socks with joy — and to our two official cookie testers for keeping spirits high and quality sweet. 🍪🎅

We were also joined by Sandy Howard, MSW, LICSW who filled the room with holiday music and cheer. 🎶🎄

Because of all of you, dialysis patients across the Shoals will feel a little warmer, a little more supported, and a lot more loved this holiday season. ❤️✨

Thank you for making this tradition so meaningful. Happy Holidays!

✨🎅 Christmas is a time for giving — give yourself the gift of health! 🎄✨

This holiday season, while we celebrate with family and friends, let’s not forget the importance of our kidneys. 🩺 1 in 7 adults are affected by kidney disease, and many don’t even know it.

🎁 Early detection is the best gift you can give yourself and your loved ones. 💧 Stay hydrated, eat balanced meals, and schedule regular check-ups.

Together, we can spread joy and awareness. 💚
