RVNA’s strong foundation: 100+ years of caring for those in need…now moving forward with a new facility slated for completion in early 2016 to better serve the area’s growing health care needs. We never lose sight of a key element in our success – the quality of our staff, its compassion and caring, and its ability to work together as a team. We are immensely proud that one of our nurses, Erin O’Rourke, was nationally recognized and named the Outstanding Clinician of the Year by the Visiting Nurse Associations of America. Erin embodies all the best characteristics of a visiting nurse, and along with her dedicated co-workers is a wonderful asset to RVNA and the entire community. dear friends Thanks to you, RVNA has arrived at an important turning point in its 100-year history. With your help and generous contributions, we are anticipating the conclusion of a successful fundraising campaign fueled by an unprecedented outpouring of community support. In just a few months, we will move into our new home on Governor Street, where there will be innovative disease management programs, clinics, rehabilitation programs and even a teaching kitchen. Where a single visiting nurse once made her rounds in Ridgefield in 1914, this year a staff of 130 supported and cared for more than 1,200 patients, making well over 50,000 home care visits in 27 western Connecticut towns. We conducted 1,576 community health care screenings and provided $738,000 in subsidized care. Our programs and services enhance the quality of life along the continuum of care, offering multi-generational health and wellness services for all residents. Moving forward, we have just completed a five-year strategic plan. We continue to shape our vision to accommodate the evolving health care landscape, new technology and challenges in health care funding. We have prepared a blueprint that combines sensible growth with innovation. Backed by the finest health care clinicians and a supportive community, RVNA is ready to expand its ongoing role as your trusted home and community health care resource. We look forward to welcoming you into our new home in 2016 and serving you in yours. Mary M.

RVNA | EXCEPTIONAL CARE SINCE 1914 15 community honorees THE CABINET OF RVNA’S CAMPAIGN FOR TOMORROW In the years leading up to our Centennial, we evaluated the challenges and opportunities of a changing health care landscape. The aging population, the ability to provide direct care in a patient’s own home, advances in technology, and the need for readily accessible services for individuals of all ages were compelling factors that led us to develop a dynamic plan that would guide us into the next century – a plan both exciting and critical for us to serve out our mission. Seated left to right: Front row: Paul McNamara; Eileen Walker, Campaign Chair; Harold Spratt Back row: Jeff Ryer; Jay Walker; Mary Jones; Larry Bossidy, Honorary Chair; Sue Manning; Bill Wyman; Tom Reynolds The RVNA Campaign for Tomorrow, led by Eileen Walker and the late Mike Ryer, is successfully raising funds to build a new state-of-the-art facility, enhance chronic disease management programs and boost our endowment. We are proud to honor the cabinet of dedicated individuals who have made our project their personal mission. We thank them for their commitment to RVNA and the health of our community. Missing from photo: Steven Goldstone 16 RVNA | EXCEPTIONAL CARE SINCE 1914 donors TO OUR DONORS Your generous contributions this fiscal year helped RVNA serve more than 1,200 people in their homes with the compassionate and skilled care we’ve been providing for more than a century. The need for home health care continues to grow, and with your support, we are able to meet the demand regardless of one’s diagnosis or ability to pay. This year, RVNA made more than 50,000 home care visits, and we offered health and wellness programs, educational seminars and clinics touching thousands of lives. Our annual Community Health and Wellness Fair, blood pressure clinics, Well Child clinics, flu clinics and innovative aging-in-place program, Quality Living at Home, would not be possible without your continued financial support. And your generous contributions are making construction of our new home at 27 Governor Street possible, which when completed in early 2016 will offer expanded health programs and services to the community. Thank you! Our donors have made a lasting difference in the health and wellness of everyone in our community.
