and Chief Executive Officer

Thanks in no small part to the tremendous generosity of supporters like you, VNSNY’s commitment to our charitable care
mission is as strong today as it was in 1893. Together, we are delivering vital services to people and families who might
otherwise slip through the cracks. In the following pages, in addition to our program descriptions, you’ll read about
individuals we’ve helped, such as 12-year-old Julio, first-time mother Marlenne, and Edward, a U.S. veteran who is
approaching the end of life with full hospice care and peace of mind, thanks to VNSNY’s Hospice Veterans Program.
We think you’ll be as inspired and moved by these powerful stories as we are—stories that you helped make happen.

We hope we can count on your assistance going forward, as we continue to work across the New York area to extend
the pioneering work that Lillian Wald began 125 years ago, supporting communities, caring for those in need, and
enriching lives.
