A Unique Partnership with University of Utah Health: Heal At Home

The CNS Heal at Home program is a unique partnership with University of Utah Health and extends the continuum of care for patients discharging from the hospital.

The goal of Heal at Home is to get patients back home sooner, and ensure that they receive the highest quality care – just like they did in the hospital. Since the program launched three years ago, hospital stays have been reduced in length, which made more beds available in the hospital and reduced the readmission rate for patients.

The CNS Immunization Program is Utah’s largest on-site flu and vaccination clinic provider and meets individuals in need where they are — from population-dense cities to rural towns — throughout the state.

By the Numbers

CNS hosted 7,029 mobile immunization events between 2020 and 2023

The CNS Immunization Program has administered more than 2 million vaccines since the Program began in 1992.

The CNS Immunization Program is managed by 4 full-time staff members and 400 seasonal team members.

One of the most crucial decisions a person makes in life is choosing a hospice agency to support their loved ones for end of life care.

While there are many factors to consider when selecting a hospice, the tax status of the agency is an important one. Research commissioned by the National Partnership for Healthcare and Hospice Innovation and conducted by Milliman, a global actuarial and consulting firm, found significant differences between for-profit and nonprofit hospice agencies. (Link to study here.) We at Community Nursing Services (CNS) understand this well as Utah’s oldest nonprofit home health care agency.

The CNS Memorial Ornament Program is a way for families to remember their lost loved ones and also help individuals in need access compassionate health and hospice through the CNS Charitable Care Program.
