(ANNUAL EVENT) February

Did you know that the last day in February is known as Rare Disease Day? Rare Disease Day is the globally-coordinated movement on rare diseases, working towards equity in social opportunity, healthcare, and access to diagnosis and therapies for people living with a rare disease. Rare Disease Day is observed every year on 28 February (or 29 in leap years)—the rarest day of the year! And Fun Fact, the Rare Disease Day "color" is JEAN! This February we are asking that you #WEARJEANS4RAREGENES to show your support for kiddos who have rare disease. At Coastal Kids Home Care, we care for rare! Coastal Kids is the only agency providing in-home medical care for kids with rare diseases in this community.

Shift nursing for CHARGE Syndrome
Blood draws for Hemophilia
Life Saving infusions for Muscular Dystrophy
Music and Art Therapy for rare and terminal cancers
