COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (KMTV) — Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) has served Pottawattamie County for decades. Last year, it moved into an office on the Charles E. Lakin Campus making it easier for the healthcare agency to collaborate with other nonprofits serving southwest Iowa.

"Having boots on the ground is really important to a lot of our nonprofits and to the people that live here," said Donna Dostal, CEO of the Western Iowa Community Foundation.

We love doing it. Everybody in the community could use something like this," said Jo Lightner, who is the maternal and child health coordinator with VNA in Council Bluffs.

VNA services also include a school nurse program, care for the elderly, vaccinations, and nurses in shelters.
