Public Health For Dubuq ue and Clayton County
Your VNA-Community Care...Genuine Compassion.
The health of a community depends upon its ability to work toward common health goals and upon adequate distribution of health resources to all of its members. Since 1910, the Visiting Nurse Association has worked collaboratively with Dubuque's private and public sectors, to reduce the spread of infectious disease, see that infants and children are properly immunized, educate people regarding healthy lifestyles, promote oral health, provide supportive services to elderly in their homes, offer parenting support, and so much more. Since 1997, the VNA has provided Public Health in Clayton County through the Elkader VNA office.
Over the years, the services offered by the Visiting Nurse Association have changed concurrently with the changing needs of the community. . . and its service area has grown. The VNA of Dubuque currently has offices in Dubuque and Elkader, Iowa and collaborates with agencies in Allamakee, Delaware and other northeast Iowa counties to serve their residents.

Support from Volunteers
The VNA Junior Board (originally known as the Junior Auxiliary) was established in 1932 to provide various volunteer services and later transportation to nurses and fund raising. Today this group continues to be active in providing supplies for Dubuque VNA clients, volunteer service hours for clients, and fund raising for Dubuque VNA programs, including the School-Based Sealant Program held at local elementary and middle schools. Its members continue to give generously of their time and talents in countless ways. They assist clients with grocery shopping, visit home bound patients, assist with a young parents' support group, and provide support at child vaccine immunization clinics. To provide financial support to the VNA, the Junior Board hosts an annual VNA Gala event.
Relationship with Finley
Since 1996, the VNA has operated as a subsidiary of Finley Tri-States Health Group, Inc., the parent organization of The Finley Hospital. This affiliation offers purchasing and support service advantages to the VNA while allowing it to remain a separate company with its own governing board of directors and its own fund-raising activities. In 1997, Clayton County VNA operating out of the Office in Elkader, Iowa. As a non-profit organization, the VNA relies on state, federal and local funding.
