About Us

MedStar Visiting Nurse Association

MedStar Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) brings the services, technologies and therapies of a medical center into the comfort and privacy of our patients' homes. We provide physician-prescribed home health care services for homebound patients and those who are disabled or living with a chronic condition.

The MedStar VNA homecare team is made up of nurses, therapists, social workers and home health aides who travel more than two million miles a year to make a positive difference in people's lives. In addition to home clinical care, disease management, and in-home infusion services, we also serve our community through vaccination and wellness programs.

Home Health Care

VNA offers a full range of skilled nursing and rehabilitation services to ensure that our patients receive the care they need, including:

  • Skilled nursing
  • Occupational, physical and speech therapies
  • Rehabilitation programs
  • Medical social work
  • Support for activities of daily living (bathing, grooming, walking, meal preparation)
  • Wound care
  • Ostomy care
  • Fall prevention
  • Home safety inspection and recommendations

In-Home IV Therapy

Infusion services allow patients to continue IV drug treatment or tube-feeding in the comfort of their own homes. It is a tremendous benefit to patients and a cost-effective alternative to staying in a hospital or healthcare facility. Home infusion services include:

  • Nutritional support services
  • Cardiovascular therapy
  • Pain management
  • Antibiotics 

My Health@Home Programs

Our program assists patients with chronic health conditions by helping them understand and better manage their personal health. Individuals who are better educated about how to manage and control their condition receive better care and have improved quality of life.

Vaccination & Wellness

The VNA also supports health in the community through their vaccination, education and wellness initiatives, including: vaccination programs for underserved communities, flu vaccination clinics, and a corporate wellness program.
