Every November 9th is National Microtia Awareness Day! With the Microtia and Atresia clinic being one of our centers for excellence at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, our clinic embraces November 9th in support of our patients every year! National Microtia Awareness Day is not just a national awareness day, but NMAD has become a recognized day of awareness around the world for the Microtia and Atresia community, including the medical professionals providing care to children and adults who have Microtia and Atresia.
National Microtia Awareness Day is a day to educate and promote awareness about Microtia and Atresia and the options for this rare cause. It is also a day for the community to come together and promote kindness and accept differences.
Here are some memories of National Microtia Awareness Day with our VUMC Microtia and Atresia clinic:
