Impacting The Lives of Those We Serve
We are honored to be here today, having cared for Georgians for the past 75 years, and to be given the privilege to continue to impact millions of lives. Our Annual Impact Reports reflect the incredible efforts it takes to provide quality care, while navigating the many challenges and changes that occur in our healthcare landscape.
Annual Impact Reports
Equal Access to Healthcare for All
In Georgia there is a growing underserved aging population and since 1948, Visiting Nurse has remained the safety-net to provide healthcare at home to the largest number of low-income patients in Georgia. Having a partnership with our community to help provide charitable care funds is our highest funding priority so we may provide access to care for all people. While we make nearly 9,000 charitable care visits each year, there is a rapidly growing need of funding to support the growth of this patient population.
There is a growing need for healthcare and aging services at home.

Visiting Nurse brings care into the home through our doctors, nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, social workers, chaplains, and nursing assistants. Through our collaborative healthcare partnerships, patients receive what they need to have the best quality of life at home. We coordinate care for our patients to provide services they need, including meals, transportation, daily living support, urgent and primary care at home. Healthcare education also is an important part of our delivery of care as we ensure that our patients and their caregivers receive the information needed for optimal patient outcomes.

CAPABLE Program
One of our new programs to serve our communities in need is CAPABLE. Visiting Nurse Health System has launched the CAPABLE (Community Aging in Place Advancing Better Living for Elders) program in partnership with Habitat for Humanity to bring access to care for the most vulnerable aging patients in our community. This program is an evidence-based program designed for aging adults 50+ with functional limitations. Developed by Johns Hopkins School of Nursing who identified that people with functional limitations and chronic conditions are four times more likely than the general population to be among the five percent costliest users of health services. And yet, during outpatient medical visits a patient’s function at home is rarely addressed. Click here for more information on how CAPABLE may help you or someone you love.
