Our Team:
In 1908, a group of strong women responded to a growing need for public health care in the area and started the VNA. Today, over 100 years later, Valley VNA is still a vibrant part of the community. Our team is comprised of people who are dedicated to Valley VNA's mission and are committed to meeting the needs of the seniors we serve. In fact, our Executive Team has an average of 10 years of service to Valley VNA. We are proud of this longevity and believe that it stems from our team really believing in our mission to serve the community.
