VNS Health Co-Hosts Bereavement Service at the Bristal Assisted Living Facility

July 7, 2025

In June, VNS Health co-hosted a Remembrance Service for recently deceased residents of The Bristal at York Avenue, an assisted living facility on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. The facility needed bereavement care for their community, and VNS Health Hospice offered our support. John Asirvatham, VNS Health Hospice Care Spiritual Care Preceptor, Matt Newmark, Account Manager for Business Development, and Aisha Sadiqa, Volunteer Coordinator, helped organize the event, and Shaun Zilberberg, Spiritual Care Counselor, helped lead the service.
