💙 Our 2024 Gratitude Report is here! 💙

This past year was filled with growth, compassion, and powerful stories of care. From expanding our services into Franklin County to continuing our trusted work in Rutland and Bennington, VNAHSR is proud to serve more Vermonters than ever before.

✨ Meet Jeff Leake, a PTA who’s spent nearly 20 years bringing empathy and heart to every visit.
✨ Read about Reilly, who defied the odds to walk across the stage on graduation day.

✨ Hear from Reva Stollings, Marissa Hurley, and Traci Osterhoudt about the transition from Franklin County Home Health to VNAHSR.

These are just a few of the incredible stories we’re honored to share.

Thank you to our supporters, partners, and community—you make this work possible. 💛

Neither wind nor rain could dampen the spirit at the Cardiac Champ Challenge! While the weather was far from ideal, the community showed up strong in support of heart health. Featured speakers included Leon Berthiume, President of the Rotary Club, and Peter Wright, CEO of NMC, who helped rally the crowd and celebrate a remarkable achievement—raising an impressive $130,000 for cardiac care. Hats off to everyone who braved the elements to make a difference!
