Visiting Nurse Association Of Somerset Hills

The purpose of the Visiting Nurse Association of Somerset Hills and its subsidiaries is to provide individuals and families with comprehensive, high quality, cost-effective home and community health care services.

History:
It all began with Miss Lillian Nichols, a parish nurse attached to St. Bernards Episcopal church. She started to attend to the sick and poor in 1903. In 1904, a committee was formed to direct the nurse and be responsible for her services to the community of Somerset Hills consisting of the towns of Bernardsville, Basking Ridge, Gladstone, Mendham Borough, and Chester Borough, to name a few. This event heralded the beginning of the Visiting Nurse Association, one of the first 100 such organizations in the United States.
