“Our hospice mission is to prevent and relieve suffering for persons at the end of life so they may live as fully and comfortable as possible and to offer continued support to the bereaved.”
HISTORY
The Collins House is named after John Collins, Jr. and his wife, Betsy, who left a charitable remainder unitrust and the Collins’ personal estate to the VNA upon their deaths. Collins’ only stipulation is that the funds be used to cover indigent care in Venango County.
We are proud to honor Mr. Collins’ wishes and in doing so, named the hospice house after the Collins family.
Sole funding for this project is through the Venango VNA Foundation, which receives contributions from our community to support our mission.
THE COLLINS HOUSE
The Collins House is a 3-bedroom home that provides a safe and comfortable living environment for end of life care VNA hospice patients. At the house, each resident has a comfortable living environment in a home-like setting. The house is staffed 24/7 along with the VNA Hospice Interdisciplinary Team providing individualized care to each resident. At our home, we welcome friends and family to visit their loved one.
