Visiting Nurse Association of Greater Philadelphia

Closure of operations of Visiting Nurse Association of Greater Philadelphia

The Visiting Nurse Association of Greater Philadelphia has made the difficult decision to close its hospice and home health operations due to unsustainable financial losses. All intake is closed, and all operations will cease on October 28, 2024.

VNA, a subsidiary of Public Health Management Corporation (PHMC) since 2022, has been a vital part of the community since 1886, delivering quality care and service. We are grateful for the dedication and compassion of the VNA staff, whose impact has been deeply felt by individuals and families across our region.

VNA is working to ensure smooth transitions for all patients and families, and to identify opportunities for team members within the PHMC family of services.

VNA's Legacy Since 1886

Founded in 1886 by Helen Carnan Jenks, VNA Philadelphia took inspiration from England’s district nursing services, dedicated to providing health care to housebound patients.

Starting out with the assistance of physicians, our organization grew in the decades to follow and continued to evolve to meet our city’s dynamic healthcare needs. We have always been there - providing prevention, treatment and education through the epidemics of influenza, tuberculosis, polio, and the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Today, VNA Philadelphia delivers a continuum of care to a range of patients in the city and neighboring suburbs, by providing comprehensive home health, palliative, and hospice care. VNA continues to thrive through our enduring commitment to our communities, our staff, and the families we serve.

You can be a part of VNA's continuing legacy of community involvement and high-quality, compassionate care.
