VNA Health Care

What VNA Health Care does

VNA Health Care is a not-for-profit, Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) headquartered in Aurora, Illinois, founded in 1918 and operating as the largest community health center in the Chicago suburbs. The organization serves approximately 90,000 patients annually across 15 health center locations in Aurora, Bolingbrook, Joliet, Elgin, Bensenville, Carol Stream, Romeoville, Villa Park, and Wheaton, plus home-based services spanning DuPage, Kane, Kendall, and Will counties, two school-based health centers, and one co-location at the DuPage County Health Department. Its core platform is comprehensive primary care delivered through family practice, internal medicine, pediatrics, OB/GYN and pregnancy care, mental and behavioral health, dental, pharmacy, podiatry, mammography, immediate care, vaccinations, and chronic disease management, including a bundled Diabetes Total Care program and WIC nutrition services, with deliveries performed at four partner hospitals (Rush-Copley, Advocate Sherman, AMITA Adventist Bolingbrook, AMITA St. Joseph Joliet).

Revenue is generated through patient services billed to Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payers on a sliding fee scale (with no patient turned away for inability to pay), supplemented by federal FQHC grant funding from HRSA, state appropriations (e.g., Illinois FY2025 $500K for the Indian Avenue clinic), foundation grants (Dunham Foundation $1.5M in 2023, Endeavor Health $750K in 2026), federal earmarks (Rep. Lauren Underwood $500K for Joliet construction), HRSA construction grants (~$1.3M for Joliet), and individual donations. Technology infrastructure is built on a third-party EHR with an OCHIN MyChart-powered patient portal (MyVNA), telehealth visits, on-site LabCorp laboratories, three on-site pharmacies participating in the federal 340B drug pricing program with Walgreens discount integration, and electronic health records shared across sites. The go-to-market model is direct-to-consumer: walk-ins, same-day scheduling, extended hours (early morning, evenings, weekends), and community partnerships with school districts and the DuPage County Health Department extend reach into underserved pediatric and immigrant populations. The organization holds The Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval and was recognized by HRSA in 2025 as a top-20% national clinical-quality performer.
