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.

The heart of Visiting Nurses Association (VNA) is the desire to help, it is just what we do and who we are. Each and every one of us. But it is the act of going above and beyond, far from any job description, that makes VNA really beat. So, when a plea was put out to assist in the rehoming of a patient's 13 cats to improve the lives of both the humans and cats , we did what we do. We helped.
