The Valley Approach to Senior Health
Seniors are vital, vibrant members of the communities we serve, with unique interests, perspectives and healthcare needs. Valley Health System works to keep them healthy in body, mind and spirit with a variety of specialized programs.
All of our senior health services are designed with the well-being of older patients in mind. What’s more, as a NICHE (Nurses Improving Care for Health System Elders) Hospital, Valley is committed to providing senior patients with sensitive, patient-centered nursing care from a team who understands their unique healthcare needs.
