Dubuque, IA— UnityPoint Health - Finley Health Foundation is the recipient of a grant from the Dubuque Racing Association. The Foundation was awarded a $5,000 grant to the Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) to purchase mattress encasements and other supplies to fight the spread of bed bugs in the Dubuque community.
The VNA provides more than 12,000 services to their clients each year. As many VNA’s clients are health vulnerable, supplying clients with mattress encasements and other cleaning supplies helps community members maintain their health and safety, and prevent the spread of bed bugs in our community.
“Receiving this grant from the DRA will have a positive impact on VNA clients who are affected by bed bugs,” said Tim Ahlers, Chief Operating and Financial Officer of Finley Hospital. “We are grateful to have the DRA as a generous partner and thank them for their continued support.”
