VNA (Visiting Nurse Association)

A Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) is a healthcare organization that provides professional nursing and healthcare services to individuals in their homes. These services include skilled nursing care, therapy, health education, and assistance with daily activities, typically for patients recovering from illness, managing chronic conditions, or needing post-hospital care. VNAs help promote recovery, maintain independence, and improve quality of life by delivering personalized medical support directly where people live, often reducing the need for hospital stays. They are staffed by trained nurses, therapists, and healthcare professionals committed to patient-centered care.
