Melinda Ward, VNA CEO

On behalf of the entire VNA team, thank you for placing your trust in us. We are honored to listen, to serve, and to meet your advanced care needs with dignity and compassion.

Since our inception in 1969, we have had the privilege of serving thousands of patients and families throughout our community. People choose VNA because of our nonprofit, mission-driven purpose, our commitment to the highest quality of patient care, and our dedication to exceptional service. We are proud to provide a full post-acute continuum of care—including Home Health, Hospice, and Private Duty services—so patients and families can receive the support they need, wherever they call home.

Being part of VNA is an honor. Our shared mission is to listen with respect and empathy, to care by understanding every person’s needs and honoring their dignity, and to serve with excellence, hope, and trusted medical expertise. Our team is committed to anticipating needs, responding with compassion, and always doing what is right.

We are available 24/7 to ensure you receive timely care, education, symptom management, and the support you need—day or night. Your feedback matters to us, and we hope you feel confident in the specialized care and service our team provides.

Thank you for inviting us into your homes and your lives. We do not take this responsibility lightly. We remain steadfast in our promise to serve with compassion and to bring comfort and peace during this season of life.

It is truly our honor and privilege to care for the patients and families of this community.

Warmest regards,

Melinda Ward's Signature
