Our innovative, programmatic Institutes focus on three critical cores of VNA Health Group: health of children and their families; coordination of care enhanced by technology; and care for patients with serious, chronic and end-stage illness. Each institute has an expert thought leader and is providing enhanced access, care and services for patients, their families and our communities. Our Advanced Care Institute helps patients with late-stage, chronic illnesses stay at home comfortably with support from family, a visiting physician, and A palliative care team. Our goal is to educate clinicians, communities, patients and their families on best practices in chronic disease and palliative and hospice care. Within the Children and Family Health Institute are three centers focused on helping children and families achieve their highest level of health from pre-natal to adult: the Center for Early Childhood Development and Family Support; the Center for Primary Care and Public Health; and the Center for Pediatric Home Care. The Connected Health Institute spearheads mobile and digital initiatives to improve patient outcomes. With more than 1,500 clinicians, VNA Health Group and its affiliates have the unique opportunity to become a nationally recognized leader in researching, developing, and testing technologies that improve patient care. SIGNIFICANT changes are underway in health care including a dramatic increase in the older adult population, a national movement to contain health costs and expansion in mobile and digital health technologies. VNA Health Group is taking bold steps to reimagine how IT can address these challenges, secure ITS future and improve care for all patients, including the most frail and vulnerable. Our unique organizational structure features Joint Venture Partnerships with RWJ Barnabas Health for Home Health, Hospice and Palliative Care Services as well as acquisitions of organizations aligned with VNA's mission.
