Visting Nurse Association
Specializes in home hospice that provides compassionate, end-of-life care to patients in the comfort of their own homes. Their skilled nurses focus on managing pain and symptoms, supporting emotional and spiritual needs, and guiding both patients and families through the hospice journey. Working closely with an interdisciplinary team, the VNA ensures dignity, comfort, and quality of life during a patient’s final days while offering education, resources, and respite support to caregivers.
Clinical Liaison
Serves as a link between the organization and healthcare providers, patients, and families by promoting VNA’s services and helping eligible patients access care. The role focuses on building and maintaining relationships with referral sources such as hospitals, clinics, nursing facilities, and care coordinators, while educating them about hospice, home health, and other supportive services. Clinical liaisons assist with referrals, support parts of the admissions process, and help ensure smooth transitions of care, often meeting with patients and families to explain services and answer questions. They also participate in community outreach and educational efforts, represent VNA at events, and track referral activity, all while maintaining professionalism, confidentiality, and alignment with the organization’s mission.
