What inspires our employees to donate to the Employee Giving Campaign? “I chose to give because I feel strongly about the charitable care services we provide. It's an honor to do this work and despite its challenges at times, I still look at it as a calling to help others. Giving in this small way can be meaningful for someone else. Acute Care is such a valuable service to many individuals. We reach out and form relationships with so many and I believe in our teamwork and know that together we genuinely help those who are isolated, vulnerable, in crisis, and need care. I just believe in all of us and what we give....it really counts.”

Working at VISITING NURSE SERVICE OF NEW YORK
Meet VNSNY Occupational Therapist Benito Flores, "VNSNY Rehab Therapist of the Year" representing the Bronx region. Before Benito came to VNSNY 18 years ago, he worked as an occupational therapist in nursing homes, hospitals and rehab facilities. After speaking with a VNSNY clinician, he realized home care is the optimum setting for OT. “You’re working with and helping patients in their home environment.” Benito has worked in the Bronx during his nearly two decades with VNSNY. “I’ve always had wonderful managers and a very caring team,” he says. He takes a holistic approach to his work. “It’s not just about the therapy—it’s also about any other issues that are going on,” Benito notes. If he feels that a patient has additional needs beyond OT, he’ll share his recommendations with a nurse, social worker, or other team member. His award nomination included many accolades - “Benito is that OT that we have come to depend on for any special need at any time. VNSNY is a better place because of Benito!” We are proud to recognize Benito for receiving this award. Congratulations!
