Congratulations to Meichelle Huff, a home health aide with VNSNY's Partners in Care, for winning a 2020 VNSNY ESPRIT Award! Meichelle's client has Alzheimer's disease and is nonverbal, but that doesn't stop Meichelle from communicating with her. "I have a song that I'll sing to her so that she knows that it's me. As soon as she hears it, she starts reaching her hands out to me. This is such a rewarding job. And I really love her--as a client and as a person."

Meet 2020 VNSNY ESPRIT Award winner Jeri Goodman, a social work clinical manager whose primary responsibility is to support VNSNY Home Care social work services. Jeri spends much of her day coordinating with and providing clinical consultation to social workers, as well as managers and other field staff, helping them to address the complex social needs of patients. "It's really important to me," Jeri notes, "to be available any time a social worker needs to talk through a tough case, needs help identifying appropriate resources or interventions, or just needs support. Our social workers are highly skilled and experienced, but they're out there in the field alone every day, and it helps to have discipline-specific clinical support."

Congratulations to 2020 VNSNY ESPRIT Award winner Dawning Greenstreet, a Community Mental Health Services nurse supervisor. When COVID-19 struck, Dawning made sure the staff had the personal protective equipment they required, and she co-chaired a committee dedicated to answering questions from concerned clinicians out in the field. "People were appreciative that I was answering questions on how to stay safe in the field from a medical standpoint," she says. "But, there is also the emotional aspect of it--understanding, for example, how a client, particularly a client with mental-health challenges, might feel when a social worker shows up in their home wearing a mask and face shield. We all really work together to figure out ways to make the best of a challenging situation."
