title: VNA of western Pennsylvania. Raising the bar of excellence in home care & hospice.
abstract: There is no doubt about it--home care is special. The people who choose to devote their lives providing health care and supportive services to the aged, disabled, and dying are unique. The single-minded devotion of the nurses, aides, and therapists to the well being of these clients helps explain why home care and hospice are the most highly regarded and appreciated form of health care. Nowhere in the nation is this truer than in the greater Pittsburgh area, which is home to many of the finest home care agencies in the US, foremost among them, the VNA of Western Pennsylvania.
