Our Mission

• To promote the health and well-being of patients and

in the home and community.

• To be a leader in the development of innovative services that enable people to function as independently as possible in their community.

• home- and community-based services.

• To continue our tradition of charitable and compassionate care, within the resources available.

together, In 2015, VNSNY provided care to more than 151,125 New Yorkers. Not all of this care was

covered by government reimbursements or private insurance plans. Thanks in part to our many

individual donors and institutional funders, however, we were able to combine philanthropic

support with a substantial commitment from VNSNY itself to bridge this funding gap.

If you’re currently a VNSNY donor, we hope we can continue to count on your support.

If you are not yet a donor, we hope that you’ll consider giving to VNSNY.

showcasing support of the not-for-profit

Visiting Nurse Service of New York

V N S N Y | 32 | V N S N Y

I am pleased to share with you this 2016 report on the Visiting Nurse Service of New York’s (VNSNY) charitable care and community benefit programs. I’m gratified to note that our organization provided nearly $19 million in charitable care and community benefit services during the past year, including $9.4 million that went to providing direct home care for more than 6,700 under- and uninsured New Yorkers. These vital services are improving the lives of thousands of New Yorkers, from first-time mothers and their newborn infants trying to break out of the cycle of poverty to our oldest patients, many of whom are frail, isolated, and living alone. Together, we’re helping our neighbors who otherwise might not receive the care they so desperately need, and who might slip through the cracks if not for VNSNY.

This ongoing impact of our safety-net programs reflects VNSNY’s continued focus on its mission of caring for New York City’s most vulnerable individuals and families. As the nation’s largest not-for-profit home- and community-based health care organization, VNSNY, like the rest of the health care industry, has gone through challenging times recently—but our commitment to that mission has never wavered. The same holds true for our many loyal supporters like yourself, whose donations help make VNSNY’s charitable and community benefit services possible.

In recognition of that support, this year’s report features profiles of a few of our many generous donors, along with descriptions of the programs that our donors’ contributions are helping to make possible. Their stories capture the compassion and empathy that characterize all of VNSNY’s thousands of donors.

As this report reveals, VNSNY’s charitable care mission- related activities are as strong as ever. More than 120 years after VNSNY founder Lillian Wald first reached out to impoverished immigrants on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, our determination to address the needs of our community’s underserved and vulnerable populations is undiminished.

Thank you for your generous support. Together, we are making a difference in the lives of thousands of New Yorkers. I hope we can continue to count on your assistance in helping those less fortunate build a healthier, brighter future.

Joan Easton: Supporting ‘Real Change’

Since her days as a New York City preschool teacher, when she worried about the home lives of troubled 4-year-olds who were coming to school angry, artist Joan Easton had been looking for a way to make a difference in children’s lives. When she read an article in 2006 about a life-changing program called the Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP), in which nurses provide one-on-one counseling to young first-time mothers, she knew she’d found her cause: “I ran to my husband and said, ‘This is it! This is the program I want to be involved in.’”

Once she learned that the national program had a branch in New York—the Visiting Nurse Service of New York’s Nurse-Family Partnership—the connection was instant and deep. Since then, Joan has been one of the program’s staunchest supporters. She contributes financially, holds information sessions in her Manhattan apartment, has “shadowed” NFP nurses on visits, and regularly attends the program’s annual graduation ceremony for moms and their children.

She sees enormous power in the program’s person-to- person approach. “The humanity and compassion with which the nurses support and educate these young women and their families is wonderful and crucial,” says Joan. She is impressed by how the NFP helps graduates transform the future for themselves and their babies. The memory still resonates of two NFP clients who spoke at information sessions she hosted. “These are smart, articulate and centered young women who started out drifting in life, suddenly finding they were pregnant and not knowing what to do,” Joan recalls. “By the time they graduated from the NFP, each not only had a healthy and happy child but was also back on track herself. They had returned to school or gotten a job, and had much higher aspirations for their families. This is real change, and it’s very gratifying to be a part of it.”

“Health care itself may be changing, but what hasn’t changed is the care and consideration that nurses give to our patients.”

Elizabeth Sesselberg: ‘People Come in All Kinds’

Some relationships are meant to be. When Elizabeth Sesselberg, RN, interviewed for a job at VNSNY in 1979, she was hired on the spot. In the decades since, she has served in various areas of the organization, including acute care in the Bronx. She is so inspired by the legacy of VNSNY founder Lillian Wald that she used to stop by Wald’s grave regularly when visiting her family in Rochester. Like her predecessor, Elizabeth also goes above and beyond for people in need, both in her nursing work and on her own time. For many years, she made Christmas meals for patients without relatives nearby, and drove through the city with other volunteers to deliver the meals and gifts that VNSNY had purchased with charitable care dollars.

Elizabeth also gives out of her own pocket, making a financial contribution to VNSNY each year, to sustain and enrich the charitable care that VNSNY provides. Her recent gifts include support for the Soto Scholar-ship to Promote Diversity in Nursing, an award named in honor of longtime VNSNY nurse Elsie Soto that is given to especially promising nursing students to advance diversity.

Elizabeth donates to the scholarship because she knows how valuable education is to a nurse’s future—and how valuable nurses are to health care’s future.

“Health care itself may be changing, but what hasn’t changed is the care and consideration that nurses give to our patients,” she says. “Patients come in all kinds and have different needs, but their basic needs are the same: they need our compassion, our under-standing and our teaching. Our goals as nurses remain the same as well: we want to give people the skills and capacity to manage their own care, so they can have the best quality of life possible.”

Allison Simms: Personal Mission Meets Organizational Mission

One remarkable aspect of VNSNY’s charitable efforts is the fact that scores of our own staff members give tens of thousands of dollars each year to support our mission. Nurse Elizabeth Sesselberg, profiled on page 6, is one of many longtime employees who regularly donate to VNSNY. But we also have a new wave of younger staff who are creating their own tradition of generosity—people like Allison Simms, PT, DPT, MHA, who has been contributing to VNSNY since she began here as a manager in physical therapy five years ago.

Allison explains that this spirit of giving is part of her Caribbean heritage. “I have a philosophy that you give back from within—that’s my culture,” she says. I believe it takes a village to sustain a community. The mission and vision that my family has instilled in me is similar to VNSNY’s mission, which they have had for over 120 years.”

That is why, in addition to carrying out VNSNY’s mission by delivering expert and compassionate care to her patients, she makes a financial gift every year in support of VNSNY’s charitable care programs.

“I recognize that this is a not-for-profit organization, and that the work that we do on a day-to-day basis includes free care for those who couldn’t afford it otherwise,” she says. “I want to give to VNSNY to help make sure those services can continue.”

Lisa Chickering: ‘Hospice Spells Love’

Lisa Chickering wasn’t sure what to expect when she enrolled her longtime partner, Jeanne Porterfield, in hospice care with VNSNY. It was the year 2010, and Jeanne was in the final stages of a battle with Parkinson’s disease. “I couldn’t tell her, ‘This is hospice,’ because back then we thought hospice spelled doomsday and death,” Lisa recalls.

The hospice services they received from VNSNY completely changed her mind—and inspired Lisa’s generous, ongoing support of our Hospice and Palliative Care program. “The most wonderful people came into our home and brought us peace,” she says. With the eye of a professional photographer who traveled the world and made award-winning documentaries with Jeanne, a journalist, Lisa still carries the visual memory of one of their hospice caregivers. “Her eyes looked like she was looking into heaven.”

Lisa’s giving is motivated in part by a desire to help more people understand what hospice really means.

“Hospice does not spell death—it spells love,” she explains. “It spells compassion, kindness, gentleness. Hospice means someone is here to ease your pain.”

Drew Schiff: Extending Lillian Wald’s Mission

In the 1890s and early 1900s, banker Jacob Schiff was among the first philanthropists to support the vital care that Lillian Wald was delivering in the homes of the poor and sick on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Today, as the Visiting Nurse Service of New York continues to evolve to meet the needs of twenty-first century New Yorkers, Jacob’s great-great-grandson, Dr. Andrew “Drew” Schiff, is adding his own support to that legacy. In recognition of his contributions, which include long service as a VNSNY Board member as well as his generous giving to VNSNY’s charitable care programs, Drew was a featured honoree at VNSNY’s benefit gala last November.

A physician by training, Drew brings a unique insight to his role with our organization. “I believe VNSNY is both a tremendous institution that’s providing social services to people who otherwise might not get them, and an incredibly important participant in one of the largest trends in medicine—the movement from inpatient to outpatient care,” he says. “With shorter hospital stays and greater care being provided outside the hospital, VNSNY is right at that nexus.”

Drew’s leadership involvement has recently included a focus on VNSNY CHOICE Health Plans, which offers innovative long-term care solutions to help New Yorkers age successfully in their communities. “Insurance wasn’t a consideration when Lillian Wald started VNSNY,” he notes, “but were she around today, she’d surely recognize that lack of insurance is a social service impediment in today’s world, as much as hygiene and cleanliness were in the world in which she lived. She would also understand that providing insurance for elderly ill people is a very important extension of what we do, and a fundamental part of VNSNY’s mission.”

Phyllis Schwartz: ‘You Sent Us an Angel’

During the six years that Howard Schwartz struggled with Parkinson’s disease, the Manhattan resident received care from many different VNSNY clinicians. “Every single time anyone from the Visiting Nurse Service of New York came into our home, I was absolutely amazed at the kindness, the competence, and the caring they showed in working with Howard,” says his wife, Phyllis Schwartz. “This is a wonderful organization because it’s so human.”

Following the visit of a particularly empathetic and comforting nurse, Phyllis decided to express her gratitude in the form of a financial contribution.

“The nurse just lifted my spirit and gave me hope for the future,” she recalls. “She was so exceptional, I sent a grant of $1,000 to the organization with a note that said, ‘I was distraught, and you sent us an angel.’”

Phyllis’s contributions have expanded over the years. Today, she generously supports several VNSNY programs, including the Hospice Physician Fellowship Program—reflecting her appreciation for the hospice care her husband received. “I’m always interested in helping people to live better, even if it’s only for a short time, at the end of life. Howard did, thanks to the marvelous VNSNY Home Hospice team,” she says.

“He was not frightened in his final days. VNSNY Hospice’s gift to me and my children was enabling Howard to die at home in his own bed, as calm, peaceful and dignified in death as he was in life.”

together, we’re bridging isolation with care

The Chinatown NNORC works collaboratively with VNSNY’s Chinatown Community Center to improve the health and social welfare of the local Asian-American community. Since opening in 1999, the Chinatown Community Center has served more than 90,000 clients and hosted more than 2,500 health-related community events. In 2015, the Chinatown Community Center provided health workshops, classes and open houses to approximately 5,000 clients. Meanwhile, the VNSNY Chinatown NNORC now has over 1,100 members. The Chinatown NNORC, established in 2006, receives funding from the New York State Office for the Aging (NYSOFA), New York City Council Discretionary Funding for NNORC programs, and many generous individual donors. The UJA-Federation also provides funding through the Jeannette Solomon Fund for targeted enrichment programs.

Chinatown NNORC and Community Center

Many seniors in New York City’s Chinatown neighborhood live in aging, walk-up tenement apartment buildings, which can breed isolation and threaten health and well-being. Since the majority speak no English, these seniors are often invisible to social services and health networks without special outreach efforts.

Through the Chinatown Neighborhood Naturally Occurring Retirement Community (NNORC) Program, VNSNY and its Chinatown partner organizations work collaboratively to ensure that residents age sixty and over are connected to the health, social and translation services they need in order to age in place successfully. The wide range of services provides important connections to NNORC members in their native language by staff who understand the culture and needs of these seniors. Many program initiatives emphasize ways to maintain health and wellness.

NNORC members who are frail or “environmentally homebound” because they cannot navigate tenement stairs are visited in their home to address both social and health concerns. Our NNORC team provides evaluation and assessment, information and referral, and links to the services offered through our organization and our many partner agencies aligned with VNSNY’s mission to support successful community living.

together, we’re helping first-time mothers and their babies get a better start in life

Nurse-Family Partnership

VNSNY’s Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) provides the comprehensive support that young mothers in the Bronx and Nassau need to keep their babies healthy, learning and thriving from pregnancy onward. This evidence-based program has a remarkable track record in helping to break the cycle of poverty and improve the future for its clients and their families.

The program identifies first-time, low-income mothers-to-be—nearly half of whom are teenagers—and pairs them with a specially trained VNSNY nurse. Working closely with the mother from pregnancy to the child’s second birthday, the nurse monitors the mother’s health, promotes mother-child interactions that enhance development, and helps the mother plan for her child’s future and pursue her own educational and career goals.

Compared to their peers, mothers who participate in Nurse-Family Partnership tend to have better prenatal health, wait longer to have another baby, and are more likely to continue school and get a job. NFP also improves children’s health and school readiness, and boosts families’ economic well-being.

Since its launch in 2006, VNSNY’s Nurse-Family Partnership has served over 4,500 families. Operating in the Bronx and Nassau County, our Nurse-Family Partnership programs receive funding from the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and the New York State Department of Health. We also thank Robin Hood, the Tiger Foundation, the Charles A. Frueauff Foundation, the Hearst Foundations, The Overdeck Foundation, The Marion E. Kenworthy-Sarah H. Swift Foundation, and our many generous individual donors for their support of our NFP.

Bronx Fatherhood Program

Targeting 16- to 35-year-old first-time fathers, VNSNY’s Bronx Fatherhood program provides the support, skills and knowledge these young men need to change their perception of the responsibilities and joys of fatherhood. Many of the participants have grown up in fatherless homes, and the program aims—one family at a time—to break the cycle of absentee fatherhood.

The young men attend support groups, receive basic parenting instruction, and connect with community resources that help them continue their education, find employment, and contribute financially to their children’s lives. Since 2007, when the program began, the Bronx Fatherhood has worked with more than 550 young men.

We gratefully acknowledge our many generous individual donors for their support of the Bronx Fatherhood program.

together, we’re providing vital medical support to children and their families

VNSNY’s Maternity, Newborn and Pediatric services provided care to more than 7,000 children and families last year. We deeply appreciate The Millbank Foundation and our many generous individual donors for their support.

Maternity, Newborn and Pediatric Services

VNSNY’s Maternity, Newborn and Pediatric (MNP) services provides family-focused home care, including skilled nursing, rehabilitation therapy, social work and home health aide services, to children up to the age of 18 who are facing serious and complex medical needs. Working closely with families and physicians to ensure the best possible outcomes, we care for children with a wide range of conditions, including prematurity, AIDS, seizure disorders, sickle cell anemia, childhood cancers, cerebral palsy, organ transplants, disabilities, and neurological, respiratory, orthopedic and cardiac disorders, as well as pediatric palliative care needs.

We also provide skilled clinical and home health aide services to pregnant and postpartum women, treating postpartum complications, including post-cesarean wound care, as well as high-risk conditions during pregnancy such as diabetes, pre-term labor, hypertension and HIV/AIDS.

together,we’re creating paths to better health for families living with HIV/AIDS

HIV/AIDS Family Support Team

The Visiting Nurse Service of New York’s HIV/AIDS Family Support Team offers a comprehensive approach to supporting and stabilizing low-income families coping with HIV/AIDS. This includes ensuring that diagnosed individuals—including pregnant women—get the medical care they need and adhere to medical regimens, and that children affected by a parent’s illness receive counseling and other support.

VNSNY has been providing home- and community-based healthcare services to people with HIV/AIDS since the start of the epidemic in the early 1980s. Today, we’re still providing care to thousands of AIDS patients through our VNSNY CHOICE SelectHealth Plan. On the charitable care front, our Family Support Team staff addresses the needs of low-income families—90 percent of them headed by single mothers—in which a parent or other family member has been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. Team members, including social workers and psychiatrists, provide a wide array of services for both adults and children. In 2015, our HIV/AIDS Family Support Team provided homemaking, social work and psychiatric services to some 50 families with children who have at least one member who has AIDS or is HIV positive.

VNSNY’s HIV/AIDS Family Support Team receives federal funding from the Ryan White grant, administered by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and many generous individual donors.

together, we’re bringing quality of life to the end of life

Philanthropy has played a vital role in our sustaining and expanding VNSNY Hospice and Palliative Care. We thank the Ambrose Monell Foundation, the Hugoton Foundation, the Balm Foundation, the John Conley Foundation For Ethics & Philosophy in Medicine, The Y.C. Ho/Helen and Michael Chiang Foundation, Select Equity Group Foundation, Wise Hospice Options, and many individual donors for their generous support.

VNSNY Hospice and Palliative Care

VNSNY Hospice and Palliative Care provides comfort, dignity and quality of life at the end of life for patients and their families. Our multidisciplinary teams offer high-quality medical, nursing, emotional and spiritual care to help patients remain at home and as comfortable as possible. We also attend to family members, answering their questions and guiding them through this difficult time, so they can concentrate fully on being with their loved one.

Although most of our hospice patients are cared for in their homes, VNSNY also delivers specialized end-of-life care in other settings, including our Shirley Goodman and Himan Brown Residence (a dignified, home-like setting for patients who cannot remain at home), the VNSNY Haven Hospice Specialty Care Unit at Bellevue Hospital (a 25-bed facility that provides short-term inpatient hospice care for patients whose symptoms cannot be managed at home), as well as in nursing homes and assisted living facilities.

Founded in 1983, our hospice is one of the largest in the area, caring for approximately 925 patients on any given day, and is the only hospice that serves all five boroughs of New York City. In 2015, we provided hospice and palliative care services to 5,279 patients, along with their families.

together, we’re using data to improve care

The work at the Research Center is supported by multiple public and private sources. Studies currently underway are funded by federal sources such as the National Institute of Nursing Research, National Institute on Aging, and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke at the National Institutes of Health (NIH); and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Private sources include the Beatrice Renfield Foundation, The Eugenie and Joseph Doyle Research Partnership Fund, the Frank Morgan Jones Fund, the Silvian Foundation, Deutsche Bank Americas, the Fan Fox and Leslie R. Samuels Foundation, the University of Pennsylvania President’s Engagement Prize, the Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham, the UJA Federation, the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation, the Jonas Center for Nursing Excellence, and the New York Community Trust. The Center is also funded by the New York City Council and by New York State through the Sandy Social Services Block Grant and the New York State Health Foundation, as well as by numerous personal donations.

VNSNY Center for Home Care Policy & Research

The exchange of ideas and information is critical to improving the delivery of health care, and no lab is more relevant these days than the home. VNSNY is on the cutting edge of home care research and educational development, helping to ensure that healthcare practices evolve to meet the needs of this transformative time.

As the nation’s only home- and community-based healthcare organization with its own research center, the internationally renowned VNSNY Center for Home Care Policy & Research conducts rigorous scientific research with the goal of promoting positive changes in the field of health care. Data gathered by the Center—recognized as the preeminent research institute for home care—has broad applications for home- and community-based care. The Research Center frequently hosts delegations from across the country and around the globe, and publishes its findings in a wide array of academic journals.

together, we’re weaving a safety net for low-income people with mental illness

VNSNY’s Community Mental Health Services are funded through grants and contracts from several govern-ment offices, including the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, the New York State Office of Mental Health, the New York City Human Resources Administration, and managed care organizations designated to provide behavioral health benefits, as well as many generous individual donors.

Community Mental Health Services

VNSNY’s Community Mental Health Services (CMHS) offers over two dozen community outreach programs for low-income children and adults struggling with severe or persistent mental illness or substance abuse problems. These vital programs care for some 3,000 people on any given day, ranging from young children to seniors. CMHS served approximately 12,000 clients in 2015.

For children in the Bronx living with serious emotional disturbance, for instance, our FRIENDS programs provide community-based, family-focused mental health and social support services to stabilize behavior and ensure greater academic and social achievement. Partnership is vital for this vulnerable group. Working with several school districts, the programs bring together VNSNY, the New York State Office of Mental Health and the New York City Department of Education.

Other programs include VNSNY’s Mobile Crisis Teams, which provide rapid assessment and short-term, in-home mental health services for adults and children experiencing, or at risk of, a psychiatric or psychosocial crisis; our Geriatric Mental Health Outreach programs, which provide assessment, counseling, and psychiatric care to Bronx, Manhattan and Queens senior citizens in need; and Care Management programs under three Health Homes covering Manhattan, Bronx and Queens, as well as a separate program for adults with substance use disorders who apply for or receive public assistance.

In 2015, the dollar value of the time volunteers donated to VNSNY was calculated at more than $925,000— but in truth their contributions are priceless. For more on becoming a VNSNY volunteer, please call us at 212-609-1570. If you are interested in becoming a VNSNY Hospice and Palliative Care volunteer, please call 212-609-1908. Thank you!

VNSNY Volunteer Program

Volunteers make vital contributions throughout our entire organization every day. In 2015, more than 600 VNSNY volunteers provided over 35,000 hours of services. In so doing, they made a positive impact on the lives of thousands of patients, including some of our most vulnerable children and their families as well as homebound patients.

VNSNY volunteers range in age from 14 to 95 years old and help with a wide range of activities. They work alongside trained staff or in hospice, visiting patients and families, creating art at the bedside or holding bedside vigils for nursing home patients who are nearing the end of life without family around them. In VNSNY CHOICE, volunteers act as recreation assistants at the CHOICE Adult Day Center and make friendly phone visits to lonely CHOICE members in their homes, to help relieve isolation and ensure that hearing a familiar voice is part of a senior’s day.

how to help VNSNY be there for New Yorkers in 2016

V N S N Y | 2 8

As you’ve seen in the preceding pages, many of VNSNY’s Charitable Care and Community Benefit programs and services are made possible in large part by contributions from people like you. With your help, we will continue to provide essential care for thousands of vulnerable children, adults, and families. Here are some of the ways you can help improve the lives of these underserved New Yorkers:

Attend or contribute to a fundraising event. Our annual fall benefit dinner (a black-tie dinner-dance to raise funds for our Children and Family Services), our annual Golf Classic (a springtime event to raise funds for our Nurse-Family Partnership Program), our intimate Food for Thought Cocktail Receptions (which raise funds for our Hospice Program), and our volunteer events all allow our friends to either attend or contribute to a special fundraising event.

For information, please contact John Billeci, Director of Special Events and Individual Giving, at 212-609-1565 or jbilleci@vnsny.org.

Join the VNSNY Leadership Council. This group, made up of donors who have each given a total of $1,250 or more in a calendar year (exclusive of planned gifts and special event tickets), offers an opportunity to become closely involved with VNSNY as a mission-driven organization, with benefits that include invitations to receptions, special events, and educational programs; reserved VIP seating for our Amazing Lives Lecture Series; and access to the Friends Care Center Phone Line, in case you or a loved one are ever in need of VNSNY services.

Make General Contributions that will help VNSNY continue its nearly 125-year charitable care mission to provide the best quality home- and community-based health care to all New Yorkers, regardless of circumstance.

Make Memorial or Tribute Gifts that allow you to leave a lasting and meaningful legacy in honor of a loved one or a special VNSNY staff member or home health aide.

Become a member of the Lillian Wald Heritage Society by making a Planned Gift to ensure that VNSNY’s outstanding care is available to support generations to come. Make VNSNY part of your legacy with a planned gift, such as a Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA), a gift of Retirement Assets (such as an IRA), or a Bequest through your Will to join the Society so we can thank you for your thoughtful gift today. Planned Gifts may increase income, generate estate-planning advantages, or provide tax benefits now, while supporting VNSNY’s charitable mission far into the future.

Donate Appreciated Securities that you have owned for more than one year and receive a tax deduction for the full fair

market value of the securities on the day of transfer to VNSNY.

You can use the enclosed gift envelope to make your gift now, or make an online donation at vnsny.org/donateonline.

For more information about donating to VNSNY, please call our Development Office at 212-609-1525.

Thank you! Your generous support helps VNSNY provide the most skilled and compassionate health care to all New Yorkers, regardless of circumstance. We are grateful to you for making this possible.

VNSNY’s Leadership Council provides philanthropic support for our many charitable initiatives and recognizes our generous individual donors who contribute a minimum annual contribution of $1,250 to VNSNY each year. Since the Leadership Council was founded in 2012, together members have contributed millions of dollars to VNSNY. This support helps us advance our critically important mission to deliver expert and compassionate care to New Yorkers in need.

Our Mission

• To promote the health and well-being of patients and

in the home and community.

• To be a leader in the development of innovative services that enable people to function as independently as possible in their community.

• home- and community-based services.

• To continue our tradition of charitable and compassionate care, within the resources available.

together, In 2015, VNSNY provided care to more than 151,125 New Yorkers. Not all of this care was

covered by government reimbursements or private insurance plans. Thanks in part to our many

individual donors and institutional funders, however, we were able to combine philanthropic

support with a substantial commitment from VNSNY itself to bridge this funding gap.

If you’re currently a VNSNY donor, we hope we can continue to count on your support.

If you are not yet a donor, we hope that you’ll consider giving to VNSNY.
