The Visiting Nurse Association of the Treasure Coast (VNA) is a community-based nonprofit organization providing healthcare services throughout Florida's Indian River, Brevard, and northern St. Lucie Counties. We’ve been serving this community for over thirty years, and what truly makes us unique is our tradition of providing comprehensive healthcare—wherever our patients need it.
Our highly trained staff includes nurses; home health aides; social workers; physical, speech, and occupational therapists; hospice specialists; trained companions; and community wellness professionals. We provide healthcare services nearly anywhere, including our patients’ homes, in nursing homes and assisted living facilities, or even in our own Hospice House. Best of all, we provide these services twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, every day of the year. Whatever your healthcare needs, think of the VNA first. We’ll be there, wherever you need us.
