ARVADA, Colo. (February 8, 2022)—The Colorado Visiting Nurse Association (Colorado VNA) announced that it has reached an agreement with 24/7 AvaRe Home Health to absorb their health care staff and patients into Colorado VNA.

Headquartered in Arvada, Colorado, the expanded Colorado VNA will remain a mission-driven nonprofit, home health care, hospice, palliative and wellness agency. The addition of the former 24/7 AvaRe Home Health staff will allow Colorado VNA to now offer home health care and wellness care throughout the Denver metro area, Colorado Springs and parts of greater El Paso and Teller counties. 

Colorado VNA will also continue to offer hospice and palliative care services throughout the Denver metro area and north to Larimer and Weld counties.

24/7 AvaRe Home Health has been a home health care agency providing adult and pediatric care to patients in the Denver and Colorado Springs area since 2012.

"This move will strengthen Colorado VNA, benefiting patients, employees as well as referring providers and facilities," said Tim Bowen, president and CEO of the Care Synergy network. "The transition will be smooth while expanding the continuum of care offered throughout Colorado VNA's service area."

Colorado VNA President, Julie Nunley will continue in her role for the expanded organization.

"Colorado VNA has a distinguished community legacy of more than 130 years and this will allow us to grow and develop while expanding our clinical expertise and the breadth and depth of care offered to patients," Nunley said. "I am excited about the potential in enhancing Colorado VNA, one of the largest home health, hospice, palliative and wellness agencies in the state."
