Since
the early 1900s, southern Rhode Islanders have relied on the services of the visiting
nurse to provide compassionate and skilled health care to their families, friends, and
neighbors in the comfort of their own homes. VNS Home Health Services traces its
roots to 1904, when six individual agencies served a small rural population in the towns
of southern Rhode Island. For many of those residents, the presence of the visiting
nurse offered tremendous comfort as well as skilled medical care in their time of need, a
mission that continues with every visit we make today.
In a
time of increasing pressures on home health care providers, we want you to be reassured
that VNS Home Health Services remains a trusted, reliable resource for southern Rhode
Island. As an affiliate of South County Hospital, we have further strengthened
the availability of community-based, independent home health services for
the residents of southern Rhode Island, our mission since 1904. We're proud to be
accredited with commendation by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care
Organizations, ranking us among the nation's best when it comes to quality assurance and
performance.
