Message from VNA’s Board of Directors and Leadership Team
Recent events highlight a painful systemic inequality in our nation and our community. Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) is committed to being part of the solution, fostering an environment that is healing, caring, dynamic, and adaptable. That commitment began 124 years ago, and will continue to grow as we listen to those in need.
The core values of VNA are compassion, attitude, respect, and excellence. Our reflection of these values enacts positive change in the Omaha and Council Bluffs communities and helps lessen the burden of inequality experienced by so many.
Every day, VNA staff members enter patients’ homes to provide healthcare, hospice, supportive services, and advocacy. Through this work, we address many consequences of inequality that negatively impact health. Our response has been, and will continue to be, an unwavering commitment to the health and safety of patients who might otherwise be ignored; providing quality services to all who need it, regardless of complexity of care or ability to pay.
We stand alongside the community we love and serve, and we accept responsibility for equality in our words and our actions.
I want to know more about COVID-19.
At VNA, the health and safety of our patients and staff is the highest priority. Regular hand washing and the use of hand sanitizer has always been part of our care routine and we will continue to be extra vigilant after cases of COVID-19 have been reported in our area. Patients and nurses must wash their hands or use hand sanitizer before any treatment is provided. VNA custodial staff has conducted regular and thorough cleaning of our facility and we are increasing daily cleaning, especially in areas that are touched most often.
I'm interested in VNA's community programs.
Healthy individuals need healthy communities, so we have several innovative community-based specialty support services and programs for at-risk children and young parents, family caregivers, and those in underserved populations.
I need help caring for my loved one.
