🌲✨ As another year comes to an end, it’s the perfect time to embrace mindfulness and find a space that brings you peace. Whether it’s a cozy reading corner 📚, a comfortable spot by the fire 🔥, or your favorite serene space at home 🕊️, Alexander McKneely reminds us to take a moment to reflect, breathe deeply, and embrace calm as we ring in the new year. ❤️

✨ Visibility matters. Andi Norton is on a mission to pave the way for greater equality in the workplace 🌈 and inspire the next generation to be true to themselves. Growing up in a small town 🏡, Andi didn’t have a role model who reflected their future—but today, they are committed to being that person for others. 🌟💪

🧘 For Aashita Maheshwari, Senior HR Business Partner at Avēsis, 2024 has been a year of making a difference through mindfulness and mental health support. When COVID struck, Aashita felt the impact of isolation and decided to take action to help others. Now, she brings calm to the workplace by leading group meditations and volunteering as a crisis counselor at Crisis Text Line. Her journey this year has shown that small steps toward mental well-being can create lasting, positive change. Aashita’s story reminds us to take time for self-care and to extend compassion to those around us. 🌟 What’s your favorite way to practice self-care? #ReachHigher #YearEndReflection #CommunityService #CommunityHealthMatters #Avēsis 

The holidays are about giving back, and nobody embodies that spirit more than Avēsis Senior Compliance Analyst @Angela Sylvester and her certified therapy dog, Mac. This dynamic duo is always busy around the holidays spreading joy to patients in hospitals and nursing homes, with Mac dressed up as the cutest little elf you’ve ever seen! 🐶🎅 From organizing the “Mac’s Hope” fundraiser to bringing smiles wherever they go, Angela and Mac continue to make a huge impact during the season of giving. How are you spreading cheer this holiday season? 🎁 #ReachHigher #HolidayCheer #CommunityHealthMatters #GiveBack #Avēsis 

🌿 We’re reflecting on stories of community, kindness, and the power of taking action. One that stands out is from Alexander McKneely, Head of Associate Experience & HR Communications at Avēsis. For four years, Alexander has dedicated his time to maintaining a historic cemetery in his town—a place the city had long forgotten. His selfless commitment to honoring those who came before us has sparked a ripple effect, encouraging others to join in building a stronger community. 🌹 As Alexander says, “When you give someone flowers, the scent remains in your hand.” His words remind us that the act of giving and serving others leaves a lasting impact, not just on those we help but also on ourselves. How will you make a difference in your community in the year ahead? #ReachHigher #YearEndReflection #CommunityService #CommunityHealthMatters #Avēsis

💡 No act of service is too small. Diane Perry, Angela Sylvester, Aashita Maheshwari and Alexander McKneely share their advice for those considering community service. It boils down to a simple message: give what you can, when you can. 🤲 Whether it’s sharing a passion you love 💖 or just 30 minutes of your time ⏳, the rewards go far beyond the act itself. Helping others can lift you up in ways you might not expect. 🌟 #ReachHigher #YearEndReflection #CommunityService #CommunityHealthMatters #Avēsis

We're proud to share another story of community impact from our team. This time, we highlight Diane Perry, our Senior Director of Compliance, whose passion for gardening has become a source of connection and nourishment for many. 🌱 Diane’s journey started in her childhood, planting flowers alongside her father and transforming spaces into places of beauty and community. Today, she carries this passion forward by tackling food insecurity. Through her work creating community gardens, she shares fresh produce with local shelters, helping to combat food deserts and foster health within her community. 🥕 Diane’s efforts remind us that every act of giving, no matter how small, can grow into something beautiful that benefits many. 💚 What’s one way you plan to make a positive impact in your community next year? #ReachHigher #YearEndReflection #CommunityService #CommunityHealthMatters #Avēsis 

✨As we approach the end of the year, we reflect on the incredible ways our Avēsis team has lived out our core values—focusing on members, building community, making an impact, delivering excellence, and innovating to serve. Each day, we are driven by our promise to create healthier communities, and we’re proud to celebrate the dedication of our colleagues who bring this vision to life. 🦷 One standout story this year belongs to Dr. @Christine Roalofs, DMD, an Avēsis dental consultant who is making a remarkable difference in Alaska. Dr. Roalofs has dedicated herself to improving pediatric oral health, not just through her work with Avēsis but also by practicing pediatric dentistry in her community. From launching new clinics to coaching T-ball and supporting junior mushers, she is committed to creating a healthier future for the children and families she serves. 🍎 Dr. Roalofs embodies the spirit of giving back—treating patients while instilling the importance of nutrition and good habits for lifelong oral health. By tackling generational cycles of oral health problems, she’s helping to break down barriers that contribute to cycles of poverty. Her story reminds us of the power a healthy smile has the potential to open doors and create opportunities. 😁 As we wrap up 2024, we are honored to celebrate Dr. Roalofs and our entire Avēsis team, who constantly “Reach Higher” to make an impact. Here's to a year of community, countless smiles, and an even brighter year ahead! #ReachHigher #YearEndReflection #CommunityService #CommunityHealthMatters #Avēsis
