A $1.6 Million Goal To Help Our Community Live Well
For over 112 years, VNA Health has cared for Santa Barbara County with comprehensive in-home health and hospice services. Our Give Well, Live Well 2021 Campaign will help us continue our charitable services and programs that include the Loan Closet, Serenity House Charity Care, Telehealth, Palliative Care, Music Therapy, and Pet Therapy which are solely funded by community financial support. Together, these services and programs help our community live well. Together, we can all live well.
