February 6, 2007 (NORWELL, MA) – Meg Doherty, Executive Director of the Norwell Visiting Nurse Association (VNA), has announced the addition of Jeanne Carey as the organization’s Director of Development.
Carey will oversee all donations and fundraising efforts of the organization, in addition to serving as liaison to the volunteer-based Friends of the Norwell VNA. She is responsible for building and maintaining the organization’s

to working with the Norwell VNA as we move toward the next level of excellence in service to our South Shore communities.”
