The VNSNY Difference Starts with Our Employees "I made the choice years ago that this is what I wanted to do. I know that difficulties come with the job, but I pray each morning before I come out, take the necessary precautions, and leave it at that. What are you going to do, run away? You can't do that." -Stacey D., Partners in Care home health aide

The VNSNY Difference Starts with Our Employees VNSNY's Community Mental Health Services runs a New York City initiative called WeCARE, which provides support and hope for the most vulnerable New Yorkers. VNSNY case manager Christopher D. helped a client get follow-up cancer care that was held up by the COVID-19 lockdown. "He mostly just wanted to vent, and I allowed him to do that," said Christopher. "Then he did something that really touched me: He sent me an email, thanking me for being in his life and being part of his care team. That made it all worthwhile, especially with everything we're all going through."

The VNSNY Difference Starts with Our Employees "The virus changed a lot of things about my job, like cutting down on visits to many of my clients' homes. But there's also something to be said about virtual visits. You can accomplish quite a lot in a FaceTime or WhatsApp conversation, so it's not a bad thing; it's just a new way of doing things. What makes this job most rewarding is to work with such amazing, supportive coworkers, where everyone is stepping up. That makes it easy for me to keep going." - VNSNY Hospice nurse Charles G. Meys

The VNSNY Difference Starts with our Employees "I love my work. The people we serve are too often forgotten.

The families are so grateful for that." -Debra T., the program manager for three key VNSNY Community Mental Health Services programs for children and families

Xiang J., a VNSNY nurse in the Chinatown Neighborhood Naturally Occurring Retirement Community, has been educating at-risk seniors about COVID-19 prevention and treatment and helping the seniors manage their chronic illnesses at home so they can avoid unnecessary visits to hospitals during the pandemic. "I am happy for my role because my clients really need me. Otherwise they have no access to trusted information. Many don't have smart phones and may not be able to read newspapers. By giving them accurate and relevant information, we're helping to lower the infection rate in the Chinese American population. I'm not only teaching members, they can also go on and teach their families," says Xiang, who speaks Cantonese and Mandarin as well as English.
