One County-Run HHA To Remain In This State
Published on Fri Sep 12, 2014
Warren County, N.J. is selling its home health agency’s operations, reports The Express-Times. Somerset Valley Visiting Nurse Associa-tion based in Somerville was the highest bidder and will take over the Warren County Public Health Nursing Agency’s patients, the newspaper says.
When PHNA closes Sept. 30, one county-run agency will remain in the state, the Express-Times says. PHNA was costing hundreds of thousands of dollars per year, according to the county.
