This program offers skilled nursing assessments for prenatal, postpartum, and/or infant care. The Registered Nurses that make these visits have worked in Neonatal Intensive Care Units. The VNA nurse will be in close contact with your physicians to provide you and your baby with the best possible care.
Telemonitoring is a way for nurses and doctors to check on their patientβs health seven days a week. A unit is placed in the patientβs home. Each day the patient sends health information to the VNA via the telehealth unit. This allows us to check on the patient daily and to watch for changes in health status over time.
Clarion Forest VNA and VNA Extended Care offer various health screenings. These include Blood Pressure (BP), Blood Glucose Monitoring (BGM), Stroke Assessment, and various immunizations. There is a regular schedule of BP and BGM monitoring at sites throughout our service area that is available on this site and is published in local newspapers. Other programs will be posted on a monthly basis.
