Huge thanks to Jim Stein and the team at Brandenburg & Stein Funeral Parlor, Inc. for spending time with our VNA staff this morning to share insights on green burial. Jim’s ongoing partnership and support have always been incredibly valuable, and we truly appreciate all he does for our team and the families we serve. 🌿

And another big thank you to Brenton Stoddard from Ibis Health for joining us today to launch our new partnership and introduce their telehealth/chronic disease management platform. We’re excited about this collaboration and the enhanced support it will bring to our patients...helping with monitoring while they’re on VNA services and continuing after discharge to promote safer, more medically managed care at home. 🩺🏡

More details to come as this partnership rolls forward—stay tuned!

🎙️ New Podcast Episode! 🎙️

Jamie and I had a great time joining Community Media of South Central PA’s “Open House” with guest host Sarah Dull (Members 1st Federal Credit Union) to talk about the work the Visiting Nurse Association of Hanover & Spring Grove does every day, supporting patients and families with compassionate home health, palliative, and hospice in-home care that brings peace of mind right where it matters most: at home.

Also… can we talk about the still photo for a second??? 😄
I’m smiling like I just heard the best joke of 2026, and Jamie has her hands in the air like she’s either celebrating a touchdown or directing air traffic into Hanover. Either way...10/10 energy!

In the episode, we cover:
- Who we are and why our mission matters.
- How we support families clinically and emotionally.
- What makes the VNA such a trusted resource in our community.

And if you’re newer to the VNA, this is a great introduction to our long history in the region, plus a quick peek at what’s coming next, including our upcoming nursing scholarship and our Butterfly Release fundraiser.

What an incredible way to ring in the New Year! 🎉✨

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that thanks to YOUR amazing generosity, we have officially fully funded our $200,000 Annual Appeal!

Our "Comfort In Every Season" campaign has been a total success! Because of this community, we have secured the future of our facility with a fully funded HVAC renovation.

What does this mean? It means our headquarters will now provide reliable heating during these cold winter months and dependable cooling when summer arrives. You have ensured a safe, comfortable environment for our nurses as they coordinate and provide care, alongside our dedicated operational staff, our wonderful volunteers, and the many community members, patients, and families who rely on our mission every single day.

Thank you for wrapping the VNA family in warmth to close out this year. We are deeply grateful for your support in making this project a reality.

Wishing you all a safe, healthy, and Happy New Year! 🥂💙

🐾🎄 Holiday Paws & Christmas Cheer 🎄🐾

We had some very special visitors spread Christmas cheer at the VNA recently...our therapy dogs stopped by dressed in their festive holiday outfits, bringing smiles, laughs, and a whole lot of joy to our staff. 🐶

Did you know the VNA is supported by more than 40 amazing volunteers?
As a nonprofit, our volunteers are absolutely essential to what we do each day. From pet therapy visits like these to respite care for hospice families, weekly “tuck-in” calls to patients before the weekend, music therapy, veteran support, and even administrative and office help...our volunteers are always there when it matters most.

This Christmas season, we want to send a huge thank you to our volunteer team. You truly make a difference, and we are so grateful for the kindness, comfort, and joy you bring to our agency and the patients and families we serve. Wishing you all the same love and joy you give to others this holiday season.
