You might wish to recognize someone's achievement or a special occasion, such as a wedding, Mother's or Father's Day, birthday, anniversary, or retirement by making a contribution in his or her honor. We have also had couples ask that donations be made to VNA Care Network & Hospice in lieu of traditional wedding presents. We'll notify the honoree of your thoughtful gift.
