VNA’s compassionate, quality care enables terminally ill community members to approach the end of life with dignity and comfort in their own homes or at our Rollingstone Respite House. In 2011, VNA provided care to 69 terminally ill patients and bereavement counseling and support to more than 300 grieving family members (including children).
“We are in our 19th year of this event, and we decided to make some exciting changes that we know our attendees are going to enjoy,” said Dervla Lacy, Director of Development. “This is a heartwarming and celebratory night for all of us.”
