In a year when community healthcare continued to evolve, Avita’s focus remained firmly where it belongs — on people. Patients, covered entity partners, and team members alike shaped a remarkable 2025 filled with meaningful moments of compassion, collaboration, and resourcefulness. Our Year in Review finds plenty of moments to celebrate, but we’ll cap it at the top 25 of 2025. Read on for the highlights and insights into how the impact added up.

6 Clinical, Patient Outreach, and Team Initiatives that Back Our Core Values
There’s always something exciting happening at Avita, whether it’s at one of our more than 60 Avita Pharmacy locations, our community-focused telehealth solution Q Care Plus, the AvitaCare Atlanta medical facility and pharmacy operated in partnership with MedCura Health, or among the teams that support these brand pillars. However, six initiatives stood out in 2025 for exemplifying Avita’s core values of compassion, collaboration, and resourcefulness. They include:
- Avita Pharmacy opened four new locations across the U.S.:
As part of our mission to offer compassionate, community-based pharmacy services to our patients and covered entity partners nationwide, Avita Pharmacy opened new locations in Dothan, Alabama (onsite with partner Five Horizons); Chicago, Illinois; Nashville, Tennessee (onsite with Music City PrEP clinic); and Kissimmee, Florida (onsite with Pineapple Health). - Avita recognized the Everyday Heroes among its team members:
When you hear the word “hero,” you probably think of comic book characters who fly, fight supervillains, and still get to the gym. At Avita, our heroes go above and beyond their regular job duties for a patient, partner, community member, or another team member. They’re our Everyday Heroes. In 2025, we recognized 12 team members from a pool of individuals nominated by their teammates. - AvitaCare Atlanta won top honors for its “Stomp the Noise: Be Fearless. Get Tested.” HIV testing public service campaign developed in collaboration with covered entity partner MedCura Health:
Atlanta has the third-highest rate of new diagnoses nationwide. To provide all Atlantans with access to compassionate and comprehensive care, AvitaCare Atlanta and MedCura Health hosted a free HIV and STI testing event in February 2025. - Avita team members “Shared the Love” to show patients they matter:
The Avita team wrote supportive notes, which were then distributed to patients at pharmacy locations across the country. This “Share the Love” card campaign reflected Avita’s commitment to cheering patients on their unique health and wellness journeys. - Q Care Plus’ Doxy-PEP telehealth program addressed an unmet need:
At the 2025 STI Engage Conference, Q Care Plus providers presented findings from the telehealth platform’s novel doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis (Doxy-PEP) intervention study, highlighting how a combination of creative clinical thinking, a compassionate care mindset, and the power of telehealth are positively impacting sexual health outcomes for marginalized patients across the U.S. - Avita celebrated Pride Season with its “Along for the Pride” campaign:
Avita team members believe in a world where LGBTQ+ Pride is celebrated everywhere, with everyone. From rural towns to big cities, from the desert to the coastline, Pride is a collective journey for all of us — no matter who we are, where we are, or where we’re headed. With that in mind, the organization collectively announced its 2025 Pride theme, “Along for the Pride,” celebrating the LGBTQ+ community and advocating for healthcare as a human right at more than 30 Pride events nationwide.
