A Day in the Life Blog from VNSNYAs a not-for-profit organization, the Visiting Nurse Service of New York is dedicated to the care of patients and support of caregivers. VNSNY is proud to announce A Day in the Life, a new blog to support caregivers in New York City.

While the technology is straightforward, blogs whither or thrive on the quality of content. VNSNY spent a good deal of time finding just the right bloggers with the passion to write about what caregivers in New York face everyday. The team they’ve assembled includes nurses, physical therapists, hospice volunteers, and other working health care professionals, each offering deep and personal insights from within the field.

Rachel Garrett at VNSNY helped launch the blog. “I love that A Day in the Life provides our experts with a platform to talk about the hard-hitting issues with which every caregiver grapples. Whether the topic is children dealing with tragedy or the challenging decision to put an aging parent into Adult Day Care, our blog offers a place for our clinicians to draw you into their worlds and for New York City’s caregivers to get support.”

Are you a caregiver or know someone who is? Then this blog is for you. A Day in the Life: Caregiving Through the Eyes and Ears of VNSNY: http://blogs.vnsny.org/
