Atlanta, April 26, 2017 –

Visiting Nurse Health System/Hospice Atlanta today announced President and CEO Norene Mostkoff has been elected as the incoming chairman of the Visiting Nurse Associations of America (VNAA).   VNAA is the leading national trade association supporting and advocating for non-profit home health, hospice and palliative care providers.

“I am honored by the board’s confidence and look forward to collaborating with colleagues from across the country to advance the mission of this outstanding organization,” Ms. Mostkoff said. “Raising public awareness of compassionate care options and promoting patient-centered policy solutions remain our top priorities in today’s high-demand healthcare environment.”

Ms. Mostkoff assumed leadership of Visiting Nurse Health System in Atlanta during June 2016.  Previously, she was president and CEO of Hospice Central Iowa – Visiting Nurse Care Services of Iowa and chief operating officer of HospiceCare Inc. (now Agrace Hospice) in Madison, Wisconsin.  She has more than 25 years of non-profit management experience. Ms. Mostkoff has been recognized as VNAA’s 2015 Outstanding Agency Leader of the Year and by United Way of Central Iowa as 2015 Advocate of the Year.

“Clearly, Norene brings a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and a record of success to this role,” said Tracey Moorhead, VNAA President and CEO. “Her advocacy experience coupled with her passion for home care and its professionals will serve this organization and the industry well today, and in to the future.”

We’re proud to share our President and CEO, Dorothy Davis, joined other Georgia healthcare leaders this week in Washington DC, gathering April 9 for LeadingAge Lobby Day. 
The team meet with both Republican and Democratic representatives to ensure healthcare and choice remain an option for seniors. 
As Visiting Nurse began over 76 years ago, our mission is to improve the lives of those we serve, and we carried the voices of our patients and caregivers to the Georgia representatives. 
We honor this dedicated team of healthcare leaders (Ginny Helms, Deke Cateau, Chris Keysor, Karon Nixon) committed to work in connection directly with local and federal policymakers, to continue helping to drive meaningful change and create a more equitable healthcare system for all. Thank you to these strong leaders, for their unwavering dedication and for being a voice for those who need it most.
