Happy National Social Work Month!

Dear Colleagues, 

March is National Social Work Month, when we recognize and celebrate our nearly 600 dedicated social services team members across VNS Health.

Every day, you’re there for people in their healthcare journeys, often during some of their most challenging moments. You help them navigate a complex health care system, coordinate care, and connect them to vital community resources. Your work doesn’t just support our patients, members, and clients — it empowers them.

What makes our social services team members even more remarkable is how deeply woven you are into nearly every part of VNS Health. From psychiatric social workers at our integrated Behavioral Health (BH) clinic in the South Bronx and other BH programs, to our Hospice and Home Care social services professionals, to Health Plan care managers, and so many others — your impact is felt everywhere.

To all of our social services team members — thank you! Thank you for being there for vulnerable New Yorkers on their healthcare journeys, guiding them through moments of uncertainty, fear, and transition. 

Your work changes lives, and we are deeply grateful for you.

Happy Social Work Month!

Dan
