Visiting Nurse Association of Texas

You make so much possible for VNA and those we serve.

You make so much possible for VNA and the individuals and families we serve. Thanks to your support, Meals on Wheels clients receive nourishment and companionship, and our clinical teams continue providing compassionate hospice and palliative care across North Texas.

Your trust has helped VNA remain steadfast in our mission to enhance health and well-being in our community with compassion, dignity, and integrity. Together, this year we made meaningful progress in expanding access to care, strengthening our programs, and preparing for the future.

Here’s what your support has made possible:

Meals on Wheels

With your support, VNA served over 5,000 homebound seniors through our Meals on Wheels program, now in its 53rd year. Throughout the year, over 4,000 volunteers deliver meals and friendship five days a week, while corporate and community groups continue to make an impact through our Day of Caring programs. This year also brought new partnerships and expanded volunteer engagement, helping us reach more seniors in need and continue progress toward increasing volunteer-delivered meal routes.

Hospice & Palliative Care

As one of North Texas’s oldest and most experienced hospice providers, VNA’s interdisciplinary care teams continue helping patients live fully and comfortably with dignity and respect. Nurses, social workers, aides, chaplains, therapists, physicians, and volunteers work together to provide holistic support for patients and families, addressing physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental well-being. This year, we expanded hospice services to serve over 2,000 patients, welcomed Faith Hospice into the VNA family, strengthened physician leadership in key areas, and advanced important work around palliative care and health system partnerships to improve care across our community.

 Pediatric Hospice Care

Our Children’s Haven Pediatric Program provides specialized care and guidance for patients from prenatal stages through age 21. Through partnerships with Children’s Medical Center in Dallas and Cook Children’s Medical Center in Fort Worth, we work closely with families and healthcare providers to align care with each family's goals and values, offering support throughout every stage of a child’s illness.

Coming Soon: Katherine’s House

Work is underway on Katherine’s House, a first-of-its-kind assisted living facility that will address a critical gap in end-of-life care across North Texas. Once open, Katherine’s House will provide a safe, dignified setting for seriously ill individuals who lack stable housing, caregiver support, or the resources needed to receive care at home.

Licensed as an assisted living facility, Katherine’s House will open with five beds, allowing for personalized, compassionate care in a warm, home-like environment. Construction has begun, with a target opening of Winter 2027. Policies are being finalized, and required applications are actively underway to support licensure and operational readiness.

Today, North Texas has no dedicated residence for seriously ill patients who lack safe housing or support. Katherine’s House is being created to fill that gap—ensuring every person, regardless of circumstance, can receive compassionate, dignified care at the end of life.
