Visiting nurse health system provides home health services in the homes of over 6,000 patients annually by our licensed, professional home healthcare clinicians. Home healthcare encompasses a broad range of patient care and support services for those who are recovering from a hospital stay, who may be chronically ill, or need assistance with the essential activities of daily living. This care is provided by a team of approximately 135 professionals, skilled medical personnel including nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists, home health aides and social workers. The primary goals of bringing healthcare into the home are to help patients avoid hospital readmission, improve their clinical outcomes, and improve their overall health from the comfort of the place they call home. As a leader in the field, visiting nurse delivers quality, cost-effective care with the utmost compassion, and remains steadfast in our committment to helping patients remain as safe and independent aspossible. Equally as important, visiting nurse continues to provide care and services for our georgia communities to those in need.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $6.2M to $16M (+155%).
How it's funded, over time

Government-grant reliance: 2018 9% · 2019 4% · 2020 7% · 2021 16% · 2022 17%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
46% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund VISITING NURSE HEALTH SYSTEM INC.
