THE Advanced Care Institute helps patients with late-stage, chronic illnesses stay at home comfortably with support from family, a visiting physician, and A palliative care team. THE goal is to educate clinicians, communities, patients and their families on best practices in chronic disease and palliative and hospice care.

SIGNIFICANT changes are underway in health care including a dramatic increase in the older adult population, a national movement to contain health costs and expansion in mobile and digital health technologies. VNA Health Group is taking bold steps to reimagine how IT can address these challenges, secure ITS future and improve care for all patients, including the most frail and vulnerable.
