Heroes of 2020: Volunteers Prepare Mailings of Surgical Masks to Partners in Care HHAs

With selfless effort and dedication, 18 volunteers from VNSNY’s Compliance, Partners in Care, Strategy, and Business Analytics Departments worked over two days to mail out 100,000 surgical masks to the homes of 6,000 Partners in Care home health aides for use in caring for patients during the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.

Volunteer Beth Taloh, Compliance Department Coordinator, said: “The team made me feel so welcomed and well taken care of. Things couldn’t have gone more smoothly. Though I am a recent hire, it never ceases to amaze me of the kind, warm and caring staff at VNSNY. I feel very fortunate indeed to be part of the VNSNY organization.”

All this would not have been complete without the support of our Facilities, Operations and Mailroom Heroes, including Yanne Carrera, Juan Flores and his amazing team, Domingo Faulk, Victor Ramos, John Rockson and Emilio Rosado.

Way to go, volunteers! A huge thank you to everyone who worked tirelessly to get these essential PPE materials to our other Heroes: Partners in Care’s HHAs.
