Established in 1928 to service the needs of city and rural people in their homes VON symbolizes homecare in the Sarnia-Lambton area. The Sarnia-Lambton Branch currently delivers 15 different programs ranging from Visiting Nurses and Home Support to a variety of Foot Care, Pain Management and Flu Clinics.
