VNA's New Server
LaShaun, an RN with VNA, checks a patient's vitals.
As a modern healthcare organization, VNA relies heavily on technology. When one of VNA's servers needed to be replaced to ensure there would be no disruption to operations, Douglas County Community Foundation and some generous donors saved the day.

For Jim Householder, pain in his leg had become the norm. For well over a year, the constant pain, which he described as a 6 or 7 on the pain scale, disrupted his sleep, attitude, and much of his daily life. Jim’s knee issues go all the way back to his time in the Navy. He underwent several knee surgeries over the years, but this particular issue with his leg started following a knee replacement. For a year, Jim traveled to Topeka for treatments, but the pain persisted.
