Happy Thanksgiving 2024 Graphic

At Illumina Interactive, we don’t wait until November to give thanks. All year long, we recognize how fortunate we are. We appreciate the support and collaboration of our clients and partners who inspire us to keep growing and innovating every day while doing what we love. Now that the season of Thanksgiving surrounds us, the folks on our team are officially sharing their thoughts of gratitude.

Nora
This year, I am grateful for my fantastic coworkers, who have temporarily taken over for me during maternity leave as my family welcomed our second son in October. They are part of the extended “village” that also includes my family, friends, and neighbors who have all been so generous and helpful during this time. Wishing all of Illumina’s clients and community a great holiday season, and I’m looking forward to seeing you all again in 2025!

I’m grateful for the precious time I get to spend with my family, especially the moments with my three children; watching them grow has truly been a blessing. I am also thankful for our health, the opportunities to create memories, and the small, everyday moments. I am blessed!

I’m thankful for the warm roof over my head, new recipes to try out with loving family this thanksgiving, and the patience of that family when the recipes don’t quite work out.

Mary Ellen & WillMary Ellen
As I am every holiday season, I’m thankful to be celebrating with family and friends. I’m grateful for the big things that are so important: my health, the creative work I get to do with my Illumina team, and the beauty that surrounds me in New England. I’m also thankful for the little things that make life so sweet: a cup of tea, my writing group, a new recipe to try, and a rare Patriots win!

Allison
There is so much to be thankful for! I’m feeling particularly grateful for time with my family, my community, my health, being able to take some amazing trips this year, and my dog Lewis.

Neeru & ChickpeaRandy
As always, I am most grateful for my wife Neeru and for our loyal dog Chickpea. This year, Neeru and I traveled to both India and Japan where we got to see some amazing sights and stuff ourselves with delicious food. Meanwhile, Chickpea keeps us entertained year-round with her Great Pyrenees shenanigans!

Elizabeth
I am grateful for my friends and family, including having healthy pets, Lucci and Moogie. I appreciate being back to work with everyone at Illumina. I’m looking forward to playing more shows (https://www.snowbeasts.audio) with my husband Rob next year and spending more time with him since his new job is closer to home. I enjoy sharing a cool studio with him and collaborating with artists from all over the world. I’m also excited about improving our music promotion and social media presence. Lastly, I look forward to visiting Paris for the first time in March.

I am most thankful for my sister’s decision to move back home to care for our dad this year. Her willingness to make this tremendous sacrifice means everything to me, and I am truly grateful. Having her home again after 20 years has been such a blessing, and I cherish the time we can spend together as sisters.

This Thanksgiving I’m grateful for this wonderfully talented, creative, and hard-working team at Illumina Interactive – they truly put their hearts and souls into everything they do. I’m grateful for our amazing clients – who really care about the work we’re doing together, and value our partnership and contribution. And I’m grateful for my wife, children, and whole family – but especially my 18-month-old grandson, Luca, whose eyes light up every time he sees me.

Illumina Wins 2024 Platinum eHealthcare Leadership Award

eHealthcare Leadership 2024 AwardThis Thanksgiving, our team at Illumina is especially thankful for the good work we were recognized for a few weeks ago.

Illumina won a 2024 Platinum eHealthcare Leadership Award in the Best Interactive Category for our work with the Senior Medicare Patrol National Resource Center for a six-module eLearning series on diversity, equity, and inclusion.

The series was funded by the U.S. Administration for Community Living (ACL) and Administration on Aging (AoA) and is being used by the Senior Medicare Patrol National Resource Center to provide DEI training to counselors at the ACL’s 54 Senior Medicare Patrol programs located throughout the Unites States, including the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, who assist Medicare beneficiaries, their families, and caregivers to prevent, detect, and report health care fraud, errors, and abuse.

Thanksgiving is a time of gratitude and togetherness, despite the challenges so many have faced these past few years. And at Illumina, when we stop to count our blessings, we find you, our clients, vendors and friends numbered among them.

We’re thankful for so many things, and just one of them this year is the faith and trust our clients have in us that inspires us to do our very best work.
