Calling all Trach Warriors, Caregivers and Trach Graduates!

Share your photos and story!

No one knows trach life like we do. Unfortunately, too many medical professionals, including those who care for individuals with tracheostomies, only see trachs in clinic or the hospital.

Share your photos that capture a moment, a milestone, or an everyday part of life with a tracheostomy. It could be from daily cares to activities or even holiday festivities! Trach Life also comes with some tough times. We want to see that too!
