Our team at the Visiting Nurse Association cares for some of our community’s most vulnerable neighbors—elderly, homebound, and seriously ill.  We work continually to be prepared for obstacles that can interfere with the vital care we provide.

In fact, we have an entire team of staff dedicated to ensuring we can continue providing services in a safe way.  From delivering shelf-stable meals to our Meals on Wheels clients to eat in case of unsafe road conditions to our interdisciplinary team proactively planning for hospice and palliative patient care in a safe setting should weather or power outages cause disruption, client and patient safety is our top priority.

If you or someone you love is a caregiver, you may find this blog post helpful in preparing for potential winter weather coming our way.

This weekend we are implementing our weather emergency plan and have made the decision to cancel Meals on Wheels deliveries on Monday, January 15th for the safety of our volunteers and staff. Clinical staff is hard at work to ensure patients are cared for in any weather.  For our dedicated VNA Meals on Wheels volunteers, please keep an eye out in your email for any additional cancellations of meal deliveries or contact volunteer@vnatexas.org to learn more.

The Visiting Nurse Association’s 90th Anniversary celebration in 2024 honors the nurses, expert staff, and caring volunteers who deliver hope to patients and clients today, as well as the many individuals and groups who gave life to the organization 90 years ago and further our mission to serve the most vulnerable now and in the future. 

VNA’s mission is to help people age with dignity and independence at home. With your support we…

• Feed the hungry,
• Enable the disabled,
• Care for the seriously ill,
• Promote health equity in the communities we serve, and
• Comfort patients and their families at the end of life.
