VNH&H is a community-based, non-profit home healthcare agency that provides a comprehensive range of care services to patients in their homes and residential settings. “For 75 years, Visiting Nurse Home & Hospice has been caring for generations of Rhode Island families,” said CEO Jennifer Fairbank.
