For more than 100
years, Visiting Nurse Associations (VNAs) have been providing home health care
to the communities they serve. VNAs made a critical difference in the late
1800s providing home-based care for the homebound, the impoverished, the frail
elderly and children at-risk.
In this new century,
not-for-profit VNAs continue their unparalleled selfless tradition by offering
quality of life and independence to all Americans through comprehensive home
health care.
Today, guided by
their charitable missions, VNAs care for nearly 10 million people annually.
VNAs provide home
health care for patients of all ages - from infants to elderly. They are the
educators of disease prevention and health promotion. Physicians are confident
when referring to VNAs because of the their quality standards and clinical
excellence. Patients are extremely satisfied with the care they receive from
VNAs as shown by a 99 percent customer satisfaction rating.
With their long
history of providing quality care, VNAs are recognized as an important
community resource and are governed by voluntary boards of directors. This
community-based board ensures that the VNA addresses the specific health care
needs of their locale.
The role of VNAs is
more important than ever as patients spend less time in the hospital, the
population continues to age and the demand for home health care increases. To
meet demands, VNAs' expertly trained clinical staff use the latest technology
available to deliver comprehensive quality care.
The
services of VNAs are reimbursed by Medicare, Medicaid, most third party payers
and tax-deductible charitable contributions.
