VNA Community Healthcare & Hospice Launches Fundraising Campaign


VNA Community Healthcare & Hospice (VNACHCH) was forced to suspend in-person health and wellness community programs as well as caregiver support groups and consultations as a result of COVID-19, but has pivoted to virtual support groups and electronic communications with its health and wellness clients.

The pandemic affected revenues as referrals for home healthcare visits decline and some patients with less emergent needs refuse visits to avoid exposure. As a result, the agency has launched a fundraising campaign reminding donors We Are Stronger With You and asking for support.

We Are Stronger With You: The Campaign for VNACHCH has a goal of $50,000 to help defray the costs of the COVID-19 outbreak. The agency is already one-third of the way toward its goal.

VNACHCH is grateful to sponsors Smith Brothers Financial, Guilford Savings Bank, Smith Brothers Insurance, Byram Healthcare, BK Group Benefits, BHcare, Rehab Concepts Physical Therapy, Principle Wealth Partners, Artis Senior Living, Meadow Mills Assisted Living, PASI, Worker’s Compensation Trust, Letizia, Ambrose & Falls, RWC Attorneys & Counselors at Law, Simione Healthcare Consultants, Legacy Retirement Group, Branford Hills Healthcare Center, Fischer & Fischer Attorneys at Law, Provident Holdings, LLC, People’s United Insurance Agency, Apple Rehab Guilford, PorchLight Move Management, and Mosaic Marketing, Printing & Signage.

VNA Community Healthcare & Hospice is also grateful to The Branford Community Foundation and The Guilford Foundation for each making a grant of emergent funds for $5,000 to the organization’s mission.
