VNA Health Care was awarded the 2022 Elgin Area Chamber Non-Profit Award from the Elgin Chamber of Commerce, during last week’s Elgin Chamber of Commerce’s Annual Meeting and Award Reception. In the recognition, the Chamber cited VNA’s role as a “vital organization that has made a difference in the past year with their community-wide response to the pandemic, producing outcomes that exemplify service excellence and added great value to the Greater Elgin area.” VNA is the largest Community Health Center in the Chicago suburbs, operating 16 clinics and serving more than 74,000 patients each year. VNA operates two locations in Elgin that provide family practice, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, behavioral health, mental health, and podiatry. To date, they have administered 53,000 COVID tests and given 95,000 COVID vaccines at clinics, community events, in homes, and at other locations across the Chicago suburbs. They also provide treatment for COVID with prescription oral medications for those in need. VNA has worked closely with employers throughout the region to conduct worksite vaccination clinics to help improve access to care and boost vaccination rates among the Elgin area workforce. The Elgin Chamber of Commerce has hosted its Annual Meeting and Award reception for over 110 years to honor and recognize peers in the Elgin area who demonstrate excellence and stand out in ways the chamber feels are deserving of acknowledgement.
