Overview

Mission

The Visiting Nurse Association of Texas provides compassionate, high-quality care to seriously ill patients and their families, and delivers nutritious meals and a personal connection to homebound seniors through its Meals on Wheels program.

What it reported doing in 2024

As Texas' first and most trusted hospice provider, vna hospice care focuses on living life to its fullest and treating our patients and families with the dignity and respect they deserve. Terminally ill patients often feel like they are losing control. Vna helps give these patients back the control they need by providing the necessary freedom to spend their final days as they wish in a comfortable, pain-free, and loving environment. As the first medicare-sponsored, home-based pallative care program in north Texas, vna care choices provides services for patients with life-limiting illnesses while they have the freedom to continue seeking treatment. Patients have access to a dedicated care team to manage pain and other symptoms along with social, spiritual, and emotional support. Expert staff help patients and their families navigate the medical system and weigh options for treatment.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 68% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
