VNA Health Group and Parker Health Group have partnered to launch the Parker Advanced Care Institute at VNAHG (PACI). Each organization with over 100 years of experience in caring for the aging population have joined forces in an effort to bring additional resources and programs to more seniors in their homes. PACI addresses the healthcare needs of homebound, high risk older adults and is comprised of two main services: Visiting Physician Services (VPS), our home-based primary care practice for older adult and homebound patients whose mission is to enable patients to stay at home as they age with an improved quality of life. The other component is our Palliative Care Program which is an individualized approach to addressing physical, emotional, cultural and spiritual needs of patients and families facing a serious or life-limiting illness. PACI’s holistic, patient-centered approach includes care coordination, specialty services, advanced care planning, in-home palliative care and medical advocacy. Palliative care can be provided in the home or a facility.
