A Message From Joe Woody – 5 Year Anniversary

It's hard to believe that five years have passed since we rebranded as Avanos Medical and began building our reputation within the medical device industry. In June 2018, grounded by our vision of getting patients back to the things that matter, and supported by our company Values, Avanos employees around the world began forging a path forward to create what is known today as #TheAvanosDifference.

Now, through our transformation efforts, we're focusing on the things that will not only provide the greatest value to all of our stakeholders - our employees, patients, customers and investors - but will also sustain us well into the future.

There's a quote from renowned management consultant Peter Drucker that I think aptly sums up where Avanos is right now: "The best way to predict the future is to create it." That's exactly what we're doing, and I couldn't be more excited to continue the journey!

Happy anniversary, Avanos!
