As we are all working through the evolving challenge that is COVID-19, I want to keep you apprised of VNA’s actions to date to ensure the health and safety of both our patients and our employees. In our attempt to support social distancing, select office staff will be working from home, effective today. All staff, including clinical field staff seeing patients in their homes, continue to follow all CDC standards for infection control.
I want to assure you that we are doing everything we can to continue to serve our very vulnerable population while planning support services to serve future patients affected by COVID-19. Please keep our employees in your thoughts as they go about their duties, and consider donating personal protective equipment to help keep our front-line protected. For over 50 years, VNA has been a pillar in the community, and we intend to continue helping those in need through this crisis.
