RVNAhealth has a long history of supporting public health and safety in the communities where we serve. In emergency situations – from disease outbreaks to snowstorms and power outages – RVNAhealth has been designated by the Ridgefield Health Department as a resource for health support in the community. We also provide support when needed in surrounding towns in our service area.
