Our organization spends more than $1.8 million dollars each year on patient care, true Charitable Care. This means that patients, who are often turned away from other providers because they are expensive to treat and yield little financial incentive to care for, get the care they deserve. For this vulnerable population, Visiting Nurse Health System is THE community safety net provider. Your charitable contributions enable us to serve all patients regardless of insurance coverage or ability to pay. Thank you for helping support our work, caring for the community in need.
As a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization, all donations are tax deductible to the extent provided by law. You can make your donation in memory or honor of a loved one.
Many corporations sponsor matching gift programs and will match charitable contributions made by their employees. To find out if your company has a matching gift policy contact your human resources department. The impact of your gift may be doubled or possibly tripled! Companies also often match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses.
