About Us

In March 2017, Greater Medford Visiting Nurse Association and Visiting Nurse and Community Health, based in Arlington, merged to form Visiting Nurse & Community Care (VNCC).

Both of these nonprofit organizations had been providing home health care and community health programs for more than a century and will continue to offer the same high-quality services to 63 communities in the greater Medford/Arlington area. For a list of the communities we serve, click here.

 

A bit of history: Medford Visiting Nurses Association began in 1900 when Lucy Rowe, RN began visiting patients in their home on her bicycle. Over the next several years, Lucy was joined by three other nurses as the need for home nursing visits increased and the community valued this important service. We’ve come a long way!
