Our Ways To Give
“Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane.”
– Dr. Martin Luther King
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.
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.
Georgia’s Aging Population by the Numbers
There is a growing need for healthcare and aging services at home.

Our Care Continuum
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.

Care Packages for Seniors
Bring hope to low-income patients by providing customized care packages including adult diapers, nutrition beverages, hygiene products, shelf-stable meals, cleaning products, socks, and blankets. Care packages may be delivered to us, and our clinical team will deliver to patient homes. Each care package should include card with a list of items and words of encouragement.
