The focus of this year’s Annual Report is Fueling Growth. VNA is a driving force in expanding access to care for those with limited income, limited insurance, and additional barriers to getting the health care they need.
Our “Growing for Tomorrow” strategic plan and fundraising campaign has enabled VNA to expand from serving 75,000 unduplicated patients in the first year of our campaign, to over 83,000 in the second year, well on the way to achieving our goal of serving 100,000 patients annually in the coming years.
Thank you for your support as we fuel our drive to provide more care for many thousands more people in the years to come!
The VNA Growing for Tomorrow campaign was launched in March 2023 to support capital and service expansion in preparation for providing care to over 100,000 patients annually. To date, we are only 10% away from achieving the campaign goal of raising $5,000,000 in just 3 years. These funds will help build new facilities, enlarge/improve current facilities, and provide staffing and operational support. These expanded locations and services will improve access to care for people at increased risk of health disparities who may face increased barriers to care.
