The Visiting Nurse Association supports the dignity and well-being of Omaha and Council Bluffs residents by delivering the highest quality home care, IV therapy, hospice and community/public health services wherever our clients call home. Our compassionate staff provides care to all individuals regardless of age, color, creed, neighborhood, complexity of care or ability to pay.

Many of VNA clients—from young mothers who are expecting to seniors—live on a limited income and have little or no extra financial resources for their healthcare. It can also be a struggle for them to purchase basic items such as diapers or personal care products.
Your donation can help support VNA in its efforts to provide home and community-based healthcare services to high-risk populations.

In lieu of a cash donation, VNA also accepts Target, WalMart or Kmart gift cards. Gift cards can be used throughout the year to purchase basic items when nurses visit families in need.
