Welcome, Brenda, to VNS Health! What would you like VNS Health team members to know about you? One of the most important things to know about me is that I’m an engaged leader. Some of the first things I’ve done at VNS Health is go out into the field with our home care clinicians. I think doing field visits and understanding operations from the perspective of clinicians and their patients is really important, which is why I plan to do a lot more of them. I also tend to be a strength-based leader—I like finding a team’s strengths and then capitalizing on those.

From HHA to RN: Donna Wilson’s Inspiring Journey
August 15, 2023–When Clinical Care Manager Donna Wilson started working as a home health aide (HHA) at VNS Health, she had a vision that she would one day become a registered nurse (RN). As a child growing up in Guyana, health care became her passion thanks to her paternal grandmother, who was a nurse. Her grandmother would often take Donna with her to work, where she mostly cared for elderly patients. “That’s where my love for the geriatric population began,” says Donna. “That feeling continues today. I have a love for seniors, and the sentiment seems to be mutual.” From HHA to RN Donna served as a teacher and an assistant tax inspector in Guyana prior to moving to the United States in 1989. In the U.S., she worked in insurance and banking before becoming an HHA in Personal Care (then known as Partners in Care). Donna was drawn to the position
