Visiting Nurse Service started as a nonprofit agency in 1947 to help others in need of skilled care to be able to remain at home--where they want to be. Since then, VNS has grown to become a national home health industry leader. Visiting Nurse Service and Affiliates is headquartered in Akron, Ohio. Community offices are located in Medina, Portage, Stark, Summit and Cuyahoga counties. These offices also provide care in neighboring counties. With one phone call to VNS and Affiliates, you can arrange all the home health care you may need.
