Visiting Nurse Association and Hospice of the Wabash Valley

What Visiting Nurse Association and Hospice of the Wabash Valley does

Visiting Nurse Association and Hospice of the Wabash Valley is a non-profit, independent healthcare organization headquartered at 400 8th Avenue, Terre Haute, Indiana, that delivers home-health, hospice, and inpatient hospice services across five western-Indiana counties (Clay, Parke, Sullivan, Vermillion, and Vigo). Its core product set comprises VNA Home Care (skilled in-home clinical services such as wound care, infusion therapy, diabetic and respiratory care, and rehabilitation), Hospice Care (palliative and end-of-life support for patients with a six-month prognosis), and the Gibson Family Center for Hospice Care, an eight-suite inpatient hospice unit co-located inside Union Hospital that provides around-the-clock acute symptom management. Supporting offerings include 13-month bereavement follow-up, free community support groups (delivered in person and via Microsoft Teams), a volunteer program, a Speakers Bureau, and grief resource libraries.

The organization traces its origins to a 1915 home-health VNA mission and added hospice services in 1982 and the inpatient unit in 2018. Revenue is generated through Medicare hospice benefit billing, Medicaid, private insurance and HMO reimbursements, donations (including the annual Tulip Bouquet Sale of more than 1,300 bouquets and the Hospice Holiday Celebration), sliding-scale fees for uninsured patients, and private-pay arrangements; the organization states it does not turn away patients for inability to pay. The technology layer is non-proprietary — standard clinical services with Microsoft Teams used only for virtual bereavement groups — and there is no disclosed AI, data platform, or software product. Governance rests on a community board of directors and an executive team led by CEO Kim Streeter; the entity has no parent company, subsidiaries, or M&A history.
