VNA Health Care, which has a clinic in Joliet, has announced that its community health centers recently were ranked among the nation’s best.

The U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration ranked VNA among the top 20% nationwide for “overall clinic quality,” according to a news release from the health group.

Aurora-based VNA operates community health centers in the Chicago suburbs, serving as the largest operator of those centers in the suburbs.

VNA opened its newly builit clinic at 1501 W. Jefferson St. in 2023 and has been in Joliet since 2015.

The recognition from the Health Services and Resources Administration included awards in seven categories.

“This reflects the dedication and expertise of our entire team,” VNA President and CEO Linnea Windel said in the release. “As we continue to serve more patients each year, we remain focused on providing care that is accessible, affordable and high quality.”

VNA serves about 90,000 patients a year.
