The Visiting Nurse Association Health Group is a nonprofit organization
dedicated to helping individuals and families in achieving their best
level of well-being by providing compassionate, coordinated, innovative
care in their homes and communities. For more than 100 years, the VNA
has provided compassionate health care to our most vulnerable
populations including at-risk children, the elderly and disabled, those
living with chronic illness, and palliative care patients facing the end
of life.
New Jersey's most pressing health issues affecting children and families often result from health disparities in access to primary care. This can lead to higher infant mortality rates, inadequate childhood immunization, obesity and chronic illness that carry through the adult years. Rising to overcome these critical health care challenges families today face, the VNA Health Group established The Children and Family Health Institute (CFHI). The CFHI operates three distinct centers to increase visibility and access to their range of programs and services ensuring that there is "no wrong front door" for those in families in need: The Center for Early Childhood Development and Family Support, The Center for Primary Care & Public Health and The Center for Pediatric Home Care.
In 2016, VNA Health Group and RWJBarnabas Health partnered to provide
home health, hospice and private care services in Burlington, Essex,
Hudson, Middlesex, Monmouth and Ocean Counties, operating as Barnabas
Health Home Care and Hospice in Northern New Jersey and VNA of Central
Jersey in Central and Southern New Jersey.
WEforum, Monmouth Medical Center and the VNA will work together to help educate our communities on how to live healthier and happier lives. Stay tuned as we bring you more on how working together will help impact residents living in Monmouth and Ocean Counties.
