SERVICE REPORT FY 2021
ORLEANS ESSEX V.N.A. and HOSPICE, INC.

Orleans Essex Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) and Hospice, Inc. provides
professional quality home health services to the residents of the 24 communities
in Orleans and northern Essex counties. We serve the elderly, homebound and
chronically ill through the VNA and homemaker programs and the terminally
ill through our Hospice program. Special programs include a variety of clinics
available to the public. As the only not-for-profit agency serving the area, our
services are available to anyone in need regardless of their ability to pay and all
clients are charged the same fee for the same service. We are locally controlled by
a volunteer Board of Directors representing the towns we serve. We adhere to strict
regulations, which prohibit the practice of charging more to a client who can afford
services to compensate for those who cannot. All revenue, by law, goes back into
the Agency to provide, maintain, and improve services and programs.
