The Holyoke Visiting Nurse Association, Inc., a non-profit 501 (c)(3) agency, was founded in 1905 as the District Nurse Service in Holyoke. The Holyoke VNA started with one nurse making thousands of visits in hundreds of patients homes. Since that time, we have grown in number and seen many changes, not only in the communities we serve, but in medicine and technology as well.
Hospice Life Care provides compassionate care to terminally ill patients throughout the Pioneer Valley. Hospice’s holistic approach to care seeks to make patients as comfortable as possible, and to manage symptoms so that their last days may be spent with dignity and quality. Hospice services are provided at home, assisted living, or in long term care facilities.
