MOUNT CARMEL - Family Home Medical Home Health Agency announces that Tara Venna, a registered nurse, is its new market development coordinator.
Venna earned a bachelor's degree in nursing from Mansfield University and received her clinical education through Robert Packer Hospital and Guthrie Clinics in Sayre. She holds certifications through Marywood University in the areas of personal care home administration, clinical management/complication prevention program, community resources, social services and gerontology. She also holds certifications in peripheral and central venous catheters, wound guidance and diagnosing, and OASIS documentation.
A nurse for 17 years, Venna has spent 14 years focused on home care and community-based nursing. She believes assisting area health care providers and their patients with managing transitions in care from one clinical setting to the next is a critical need in the post-health reform arena.
"Family Home Medical's slogan is 'Where you become family.' This philosophy, along with their excellent reputation of serving our local community for over 20 years, is why I am very proud and excited to become a new member of their team," Venna said in a company statement.
She serves as a board member of Northumberland County Council for the Arts and Humanities and is an active member of the Brush Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce. She is also a member and volunteers for the American Heart Association. She enjoys exercising, volunteering, and spending time with her husband, Chris, and daughters Gabrielle and Gianna.
"Tara's experience, knowledge and enthusiasm will prove to be invaluable assets to both Family Home Medical and the community we serve," said Kathleen Hoffman, chief operating officer. "We are extremely lucky to have her join our team."
