Big Turnout for VNSW Reception for Dutchess Healthcare Community
VNS Westchester marked the launch of its home healthcare services for Dutchess residents by hosting a networking reception for over 100 healthcare and social service providers in the County. The event, held on October 23rd at The Grandview in Poughkeepsie, provided representatives from local organizations with the opportunity to learn more about VNSW’s services and to discuss ways to work together to coordinate patient care.
Attendees from local hospitals, skilled nursing and rehabilitation facilities, assisted living centers and social service agencies concurred with VNSW’s President & CEO Lou Nemnom’s observation that, in today’s healthcare environment, “it takes a village” to ensure the health and well-being of our community. “By working together,” Nemnom said, “we have the greatest chance of success in delivering the best possible care for our patients, particularly as they transition from healthcare facilities to home care services.”
