Corporate Impact

This is an exciting and defining time for Avanos.

In 2025, we advanced our strategy with clarity and purpose, deepening our impact for patients around the world. Across hospitals, surgery centers, and recovery settings, patients depended on our medical device solutions during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives, receiving life-sustaining nutrition, relief from pain, and support to recover and gain strength.

These were more than clinical interventions; they were milestones on the journey back to normalcy – moments that empowered patients to reclaim their quality of life and return to what matters. Supporting them during these critical moments is both a privilege and a profound responsibility that drives our teams forward every day.

Our Corporate Impact Report – formerly known as our Corporate Citizenship Report – reflects the evolution of our strategy and the ambition guiding our future. The new name underscores what has always been central to Avanos: delivering measurable, meaningful impact for patients, healthcare providers, communities and employees worldwide.

Most importantly, our work made a difference. In 2025, our solutions supported approximately 2.2 million^◊ patients worldwide seeking vital nutrition, pain relief, or support during recovery. Behind this number are people and families whose futures are stronger because care was available when it mattered most.

Our ambition, however, extends beyond performance alone. In 2025, we advanced sustainability initiatives and strengthened employee engagement across our global workforce. Our employee resource groups fostered connection, culture and community, while our teams supported local partnerships and volunteer efforts that extend our purpose beyond the clinical setting. We recognize that human health, community well-being and environmental responsibility are deeply interconnected, and we are committed to progress across each.

We are proud of the progress reflected in this report, but we are even more focused on what lies ahead. Healthcare is evolving rapidly. Patient expectations are rising. Healthcare systems face growing complexity and pressure. We see these not as obstacles, but as opportunities to innovate with greater urgency, to collaborate more deeply with providers, and to expand access to clinically meaningful solutions around the world.

At Avanos, our work makes a difference every day, and we are committed to raising the standard of care for the years ahead.
