On Wednesday our staff gathered at the office for a meeting and were treated to a surprise visit from Dan Catuccio and everyone’s favorite Home Health patient, Rose!

It was a great experience, and to top it off, we got some pictures with Rose!

Douglas County Visiting Nurses Association is 57 years old today! That's an incredible 57 years of improving quality of life through compassionate, in-home patient care! We wouldn't be here today if Lyn Rothwell hadn't recognized the need in our community for home care and enlisted Dr. Ralph Reed and the Honorable Fred Six to start a not-for-profit organization in 1969. Since then, incredible, dedicated staff members and tremendous community support have kept VNA going strong, but most importantly we're here because of all the patients who have trusted us over the years to provide care in their homes. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to VNA's 57 years of serving the community, with many more to come!
