Why is monthly giving so important? You’ll gain the satisfaction of knowing that you are helping someone every month – someone in our community who needs medical care. This is especially important as we build patient programs, plan clinician training and fund key organizational investments. You will benefit in other ways, too: with automatic monthly giving you eliminate the need for stamps and envelopes, and don’t have to remember to write a check.

Necessary healthcare supplies, like nutritional supplements and Depends, for patients who lack healthcare coverage or who can not reimburse the expense

Many of our patients do not have the ability to pay, but Visiting Nurse is there to help: we spend more than $4 million annually in service to the uninsured. Unfortunately, reimbursements do not cover this care. Your monthly gift will help fund this need in a long-term, reliable way. We will use your gift on necessities like purchasing medical supplies and continuing to train our experienced nurses to provide care to those less fortunate.
Commit to a monthly gift of only $10, $25, $50, or more, and you can join us to ensure that Visiting Nurse is here for the community in the years to come.

Grateful for strong community partnerships that help build strong nonprofit leadership.
For the past five years, OnBoard has been an important pipeline for recruiting talented, committed leaders to the Visiting Nurse Health System | Hospice Atlanta Board of Directors. Their work has helped us connect with individuals who bring fresh perspectives, valuable expertise, and a genuine commitment to our mission.
We’ve seen that impact firsthand. Mel Coker, now in her first term as Board Chair, came to our board through OnBoard and stepped into the chair role following Nicole Hart’s successful completion of her term. And now, we are excited to welcome Amy Katnik as the newest leader joining our board through the OnBoard pipeline.
Strong organizations need strong governance, and strong governance starts with finding the right people who are willing to serve.
Thank you, OnBoard, for five years of partnership and for helping Visiting Nurse Health System continue to strengthen the leadership around our board table. We are grateful for the partnership and excited about the leaders still to come.

The ones who raised families.
Built communities.
Worked hard.
Loved deeply.
Weathered challenges.
And left a little wisdom behind for the generations that followed.
On Senior Citizens Day, we honor the older adults who have shaped our families and our communities, and remind ourselves that growing older should always come with dignity, respect, connection and care.
Here’s to the stories, memories, lessons and legacies that make every generation matter.
