On Thursday, November 13th, VNS Health will raise funds for our Charitable Care and Community Impact Programs by holding our 2025 Benefit Dinner: “Here When You Need Us” – at The Ziegfeld Ballroom.

The 2025 Benefit will feature the presentation of the Lillian D. Wald Award to Hon. Carmen Beauchamp Ciparick (ret.), Of Counsel, Greenberg Traurig, LLP and Ramon Tallaj, MD, Founder and Chairman of the Board, SOMOS Community Care. The award, named after the public health pioneer and founder of VNS Health, is presented each year in recognition of those who have made significant contributions to the health and welfare of others.

For more than 130 years, VNS Health has been an innovator in home- and community-based health care. Today, with more than 73,000 patients, clients and health plan members in our care on any given day, we are delivering expert and compassionate care to New Yorkers who are often overlooked, marginalized, or otherwise find it hard to get the care they need.

Last year, VNS Health – together with our generous supporters and community partners – provided more than $69 million in charitable care and community impact programs, improving the lives of New Yorkers, young and old.
