ACH Approved VNA Seeks In Aiken County Opening
The Visiting Nurses Association of Greater Aiken may wait until mid October to learn if it will open or close its doors as ECGHSA fails to rule on the VNA home health agency in Aiken County. A tie vote sends the application back to DHEC with 60 and 30 day rule timelines and possible public hearing. The ECGHSA also approved a $3 million outpatient expansion for Aiken Community Hospital increasing patient charges and classifying the ACH as a modified outpatient center with no beds added. Opponents say VNA would duplicate services. 11 of 16 letters of support were retracted.
