ANOTHER STEP FORWARD AMALGAMATION A HISTORYBecause of the need for greater office space, in 1958 the VNA securednew quarters on the second floor at 304 Main Street in Huntington,NY. The following year, Board Members Mrs. Robert Gilmore andMrs. Richard James established the Budget Shop which proved to be asuccess and brought in additional income for the Association.OF CARING AND COMMUNITYMiss C. Hilbert making her first house call in 1952.In 1962, the Visiting Nurse Association voted to become a participatingmember of the United Fund of Huntington Township, thus assuringa more stable income. In that same year, the Association also becamea member of the Federation of VNA’s of Nassau County to discusscommon problems of administration. Also in 1962, Helen Strobljoined VNS as Supervisor of Nurses and Director.In 1964, the Association, with the endorsement of Mrs. Gilmore,moved to 377A New York Avenue in Huntington in order to securemore office space. Now though, it was able to rent the entire building,which had been recently renovated with the Budget Shop on the groundfloor, an attractive entrance, and rooms upstairs for the nurses’ offices.Signing the papers to unite VNA with Suffolk County Dept of Health, 1965.Helen Strobl with VNS nurses, 1965.8bout this time the possibility of amalgamatingwith the Suffolk Countyof theHealthWithDepartmentthis amalgamation,Visiting Nurse Association changedits name to VisitingService,presented itself, and a committeeof theNurseVNAwasalthough it still maintained itsown identity, officers, Board of Directors, and budget and was stillappointed to study the situationand take it up withresponsible for raising some of its funds to help carry on the program.Open house reception to celebrate new offices at 505 Main Street in Northport.full wouldsalaries for allow4 to 6 nurses.the Health Department.It paidThisfor Ina addition, a certain number ofPublic Health nurses from Health Department staff were assigned tomuch broader basis of nursingand health servicesthe office at 377A New York Avenue.

Agencies such as Visiting NurseService, with growth in utilization and costs since the 1993 base yearfor new reimbursement calculations, experienced the greatest impactof reduced revenue per patient. In order to survive, VNS reduced thevisits per patient and corresponding staffing costs.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORTA MESSAGE FROM LINDA TAYLORADMINISTRATIVE STAFFDear Friend,Scott J. Williamshie inan iaIn 2017 Visiting Nurse Service & Hospice of Suffolk markeda 65 year anniversary, continuing a long tradition of homehealth care in our community with steadfast focus on patientneeds and mutually identified goals to improve individualwell-being and overall quality of life. The inpatient hospicehouse in East Northport provided continued supportiveoptions for care when the home setting alone called for amore intense level of care or when much needed respite relieved family membersproviding the yeoman’s work in their homes on a daily basis, with a much neededbreak. Without losing sight of our mission to provide high quality care through all ofour programs, we seized the opportunity from our position of financial strength in2017 to enhance operational tools used by administrative and clinical staff alike withthe implementation of two technology driven initiatives. In 2017 VNSHS introducedtwo major computer programs, one to better manage human resources from a singledata base with a transparent system for optimal staff utilization at all employeelevels, and one to better manage clear and comprehensive patient care documentationfor improved interdisciplinary care planning and coordination of care. These werehuge undertakings given the financial commitment required not only for initial costsbut for lost productivity to accommodate the significant learning curve required.We are stronger both operationally and professionally because of that investment intime, money, and our most precious asset – employees and volunteers.Diana Gallo, MSN, RNDirector of OperationsLinda Taylor, MA, BSN, RNhiee ti eererBeth Rosenfeld, MBA, BSN, RNDirector of Quality Assurance& Performance ImprovementAndrea Cowles, MA, BSN, RNDirector of Intake & ServiceDevelopmentSusan BruderEvents PlannerPROGRAM STAFFCERTIFIED HOME HEALTH AGENCYDiana Gallo, MSN, RNDirector of Clinical OperationsSilvia Rivera-Belardo, BSN, RNClinical ManagerPROGRAM STAFFCERTIFIED HOSPICEKathy Genova, BSN, RNDirector of OperationsBirjis G.

MEDICAL DIRECTOR REPORTA MESSAGE FROM BIRJIS AKHUND, MDI am a Medical Oncologist who wears several hats – one ofthese hats is in my capacity as a medical practitioner, thesecond is as an educator to fellow colleagues in a rapidlychanging landscape of medical knowledge, and the third,and most important one is as Medical Director of the VNSHShospice program.This is where I am gracefully brought back to Earth to face theeveryday reality of our limits in medical management and help direct care for thosewho are in need.Many years ago, our mantra had been to never give up since in medical school ourtraining was uniquely directed toward healing. Now, with many years of experiencewe have come to realize the importance of palliative and hospice programs. Today,the referral of patients in need of such services has been less difficult and whendone in a timely manner the outcomes have been gratifying – especially for patientswhere the focus is the alleviation of suffering, the respect of individuality, and theunderstanding of unmet needs.It is of course, a sad fact of life that illness and infirmary will affect all of us at sometime in our lives. It is our hope and desire that programs like those provided byVNSHS will always be there to ensure that in the challenging chapters of our life’sjourney, an extension of comfort care to alleviate suffering is ever-present.I would like to take this opportunity to extend our deep and heartfelt gratitude to thepatients, families and programs that make palliative and hospice care possible.Thank you to the staff and volunteers who dedicate their time, efforts andcompassion to the patients and families who seek help and comfort in a momentof tremendous need.Thank you to the physicians and families who courageously recognize the need toincorporate palliative and hospice care in a timely manner so that suffering can beaddressed meaningfully and patient’s times are not left suspended in medical futility.Thanks to the families that have participated in the program, and contributedgreatly to the care of their loved ones. Hospice is not a four walled building orother structured entity; it is a system, a process, a state of caring and understandingwhere the families play a role of immeasurable importance. It is with the families’support that we are allowed to flourish and care for the community we live in.Finally, thank you to the most important component of the program – the patientswho entrusted us with their care in the twilight of their lives.Birjis Akhund, MDHospice Medical Director4
