VNSNY Strength from Within VNSNY Participants

“There is no other organization more committed to improving the outcomes for patients, who experience negative social determinants of health, than VNSNY.” — Bonnie Lauder, Director of Quality Management Services, VNSNY Hospice

“I feel blessed to work at such a mission-driven organization, so supporting our work personally as well as professionally just feels right.” — Kyle Crawford, Manager, Strategy, Performance & Innovation

“Giving provides me with an opportunity to make a direct positive impact on the lives of our members, patients and clients in a way that my back-office corporate support role does not. And it just feels good!” — Cynthia Johnson, Director, Informatics & Financial Analysis

“Community is integrated into our daily lives in so many ways. As I reflect on how I want to show up in the world, it is important for me to support others in any way I can. As a newly hired employee, I am passionate about the VNSNY vision, and am grateful for this opportunity to participate in the Strength from Within Giving Campaign!” — Maria Jackson, Director, Talent & Learning

“Being a part of this organization has shown me how well we utilize donated funds. I have seen many patients benefit from our charitable care fund.  They have received needed equipment and services to meet their needs.  I am proud to be part of the VNSNY team in bringing the care and services to those who need it the most.” — Joseph Gallagher, Director, Operations Support Services, VNSNY Home Care

“Although I have donated to the Strength from Within campaign for many years, it was in 2020 and 2021 when I felt more connected and in awe than ever to the work that nurses, therapists, and home health aides at VNSNY do for those patients in the community that needed help the most. People at VNSNY rallied for their patients and coworkers, and it’s with great pleasure that I contribute to the campaign.” — Yolanda Barrón, Senior Biostatistician, Center for Home Care Policy & Research
