Healing mind & body.
A comprehensive care plan must go beyond the physical. The Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) of Louisville, a private nonprofit agency serving Louisville and 13 surrounding counties in Kentucky and southern Indiana, began its in-home mental health program in 1978 with one mental health nurse. Today VNA has 20 mental health nurses who make more than 10,000 home visits to 800 patients a year. The program includes treatment of the mentally ill, geriatric patients with mental or emotional problems, people suffering from Alzheimer's disease and related dementia, and emotionally disturbed children.
