Yvonne Eaddy Recognized as a McKnight’s 2023 Pinnacle Awards ‘Unsung Hero’ Honoree
Congratulations to Yvonne Eaddy, who is a McKnight’s 2023 Pinnacle Awards ‘Unsung Hero’ honoree.
It was 1983 when Yvonne Eaddy joined VNS Health (then known as the Visiting Nurse Service of New York) as a public health nurse visiting the homes of both the elderly and children in need of a lifeline.
Forty years later, as the Vice President of Regional Patient Care Services, she oversees more than 300 clinicians and 35 clinical support team members to coordinate the day-to-day care delivered to patients across Brooklyn and Staten Island, as well as the regional budget that governs them. In addition, Eaddy manages VNS Health’s Maternity-Newborn Pediatrics Program in Brooklyn, which provides care and support for children with complex medical conditions. She also is the program leader for home care behavioral health services.
It is because of this and more that Yvonne was elected an “Unsung Hero” category winner in the 2023 McKnight’s Pinnacle Awards program.
