Make a Lasting Impact
As a nonprofit, philanthropy has always been an integral part of Valley VNA Senior Care. The original Visiting Nurse Association was formed by a group of benevolent women in 1908 and throughout its 100 year history, Valley VNA has had the support of the community through gifts of time, talent, and donations. Today, the programs of Valley VNA provide an environment where seniors, who have given so much, live with dignity and grace.
We are grateful to those who have joined the generations of giving to help us carry out our mission of providing quality choices for senior living. This continued support will ensure that Valley VNA is able to serve the community now and for generations to come.
