Rachel Lelia-Schwartz, RN, Retires After 47 Years of Service
On June 2, Rachel Lelia-Schwartz, RN, retired from VNS Health’s Compliance Department, closing the chapter on a remarkable 47-year career in nursing, including 39 continuous years with our organization.
“I began my VNS Health career in December 1976 as a public health nurse in the East Bronx,” Rachel recalls. “On my first day, I reported to the Central Office in Manhattan and received my assignment to the Bronx office. Listening to the veteran nurses plan their day, I knew that I was in the right place.”
