Still Time to Support our
FY12 Annual Fund |
 The VNA provides over $2.5 million in charitable care each year. This is uncompensated care provided free or at a greatly reduced rate to our neighbors in need. We depend on support from our community to provide this care and your generosity helps ensure that the VNA can continue to serve all who turn to us.
From the tiniest baby just coming home, to people facing the end of their lives, the VNA is there to help. Day in and day out, our caregivers help people get up in the morning, check their blood pressure and other vital signs, help them get on their feet after surgery, dress their wounds, make them nutritious meals and put them to bed in the evening. Last year, your VNA cared for nearly 5,000 individuals and families across a dozen diverse programs.
We are grateful for your support. Please consider a gift to the VNA Annual Fund for the end of our fiscal year on June 30. Our friends at Champlain Investment Partners have given a very generous gift of $10,000 with the hope that it will encourage other donors to give as well.
Thank you. |

Start the Conversation |
In life, we prepare for everything - college, marriage, children and retirement. But, we seldom talk about preparing for end-of-life care. We'd like to help you start the conversation and increase your understanding of end-of-life options, how to share end-of-life wishes and how to record your decisions using Vermont's Advance Directive form.
We invite you to join a conversation:
June 19, 2012
6:30-7:30 pm
The Lodge at Shelburne Bay
187 Pine Haven Shores Rd, Shelburne
Mary Loney, RN, CHPN, VNA Case Manager for End-of-Life Care Programs, will discuss end-of-life care options and introduce resources to help you start the conversation with your loved ones.
To register or for more information, call 802 658-1900 x3903 or email lecompte@vnacares.org.
