Visiting Nurse Association Health Group Announces New President and CEO

Visiting Nurse Association Health Group (VNAHG), one of the nation's largest nonprofit providers of home health, hospice, and community-based care, announced that Christopher Rinn has been named President and Chief Executive Officer starting in early August.

Rinn is a longtime Monmouth County, New Jersey resident with nearly a longstanding career in public health, policy, and community health. Since 2017, Rinn has served as the CEO for VNA of Central Jersey Community Health Centers (CHC). Previously he served as the Acting Health Commissioner for the New Jersey Department of Health and was the Executive Director of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and Government Affairs for Jersey City Medical Center.

"Christopher is a compassionate servant leader with a deep passion for public health and a drive to ensure high-quality services are provided to the community," says Dr. Steven Landers, MPH, who is stepping down as President and CEO of VNA Health Group this summer. "As a respected healthcare policy and public health leader, Christopher is an excellent fit for our future."

"We wanted someone who understands our sophisticated network of programs and services and has the skills and experience to oversee our various programs and services, and Christopher checks all the boxes," notes Patrick McMenamin, VNAHG Board Chairman, who helped lead the Search Committee for the organization alongside Board Vice Chairman, Robert Dibble.

In response to the announcement, Rinn adds, "We'll work closely with Dr. Landers and the whole team to ensure a smooth transition. As a long-time member of the VNA family, I heartily welcome this opportunity to help move healthcare forward for all our communities."
