Welcome to RVNA – Ridgefield Visiting Nurse Association

For nearly a century CARING across the generations

The Mission of the Ridgefield Visiting Nurse Association is to provide exceptional home and community health care services, support public health and safety and promote the highest quality of life in Western Connecticut.

The Ridgefield Visiting Nurse Association is a private, Non Profit Organization. Founded in 1914, the RVNA is governed by a volunteer board of directors. A staff of 70 provides a wide range of home health and community-based wellness services to the residents of the Greater Ridgefield, CT areas. While the medical field continues to become more sophisticated and high-tech, one simple philosophy has not changed at the RVNA - the patient comes first. RVNA staff members bring a high level of professional competence to patients and their families. RVNA nurses and therapists have an average of 21 years of experience in their fields. Certified health aides have an average of 11 years of experience providing home health care.

The Ridgefield VNA accepts payment for services from Medicare and Medicaid programs, from private insurance plans and managed care plans. We can assist patients in obtaining funds. Individuals lacking funds may receive certain home-visit services at a reduced fee or free of charge if funds from community help agencies are available.

Ridgefield VNA has a dedicated pool of over 300 volunteers who annually donate thousands of hours--and a wide range of talents--to support the efforts of the Ridgefield VNA. Some served professionally in our flu and pneumonia clinics, preschool vision and hearing screenings, well child clinics, and year round health screenings. Some helped to plan and implement the annual Community Health Fair in the spring. Still others give their time as drivers, clerical workers, and other essential behind the scenes personnel.
