Our Specialty Services TELEMEDICINE Telemedicine is technology utilized in the best sense -- to help “watch over you”. Daily, vital signs are monitored in your home, and transmitted to the VNS office where a registered nurse reviews them. VNS, the first in the state to offer telemedicine to our patients, has made it even better by coordinating the program with a dedicated nurse for telemedicine oversight. VNS partners with HomMed to provide this service.  VITAL STIM VNS Home Health Services is a provider of Vital Stim - a tool to assist the rehabilitation of swallowing dysfunction. Vital Stim refers to a specially designed electrical stimulation device that facilitates muscle reeducation of the throat muscles. This stimulation, provided by specially trained speech language pathologists in conjunction with traditional swallowing treatment and education, has demonstrated positive outcomes for appropriate patients.
