To support our UVA Health mission of transforming health and inspiring hope — each month, we recognize team member and health awareness months, weeks, and days. 

Every member of our UVA Health team is essential to achieving our mission, so we honor their commitment to: working as one UVA Health team; super quality, patient safety, and outcomes; easy access and experience of care; value-based care; community engagement; enabling discoveries for better health — and much more. 

In August, we recognize: 

• Breastfeeding Awareness Month | Aug. 1-7 Breastfeeding Awareness Week 
• Immunization Awareness Month 
• Neurosurgery Awareness Month 
• Aug. 1 World Lung Cancer Day
• Aug. 23-29 Health Unit Coordinators Week

Thank you to all our team members who support our UVA Health vision to be the nation’s leading public academic health system and a best place to work — while transforming patient care, research, education, and community engagement.
