About Us

The Visiting Nurse Service of New York is the largest not-for-profit home health care organization in the country. There are other organizations with the words "visiting nurse" in their name, but each one operates separately from the other. There is only one Visiting Nurse Service of New York. Who are we?

We’re 16,384 dedicated employees. We're 2,420 nurses, with an average of 13 years experience in the field. We’re 525 rehabilitation therapists (physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech therapists), more than 9,725 home health aides, 585 social workers, and 160 other clinical professionals.

We speak more than 50 languages.

In 2011, VNSNY:

  • cared for 139,360 patients in the New York metro area
  • made 2,376,150 home visits
  • provided $26.4 million in charitable care to uninsured and underinsured New Yorkers

We’ve been part of the fabric of New York City since 1893—longer than the subway system. Before the Yankees. Almost as long as the Statue of Liberty.

We’re a vital part of New York’s public health infrastructure, delivering care to New Yorkers of all ages and all walks of life.

We’re the Visiting Nurse Service of New York. We’re here for you, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
