In response to the changing needs of Manhattan, VNS has developed a variety of different home health care programs.
Manhattan is one of the most racially and ethnically diverse communities in the country.
We have developed Multicultural Programs , which have nurses who speak Chinese, Korean, and Spanish and where nurses are specially trained to respond to the cultural needs of different communities. Like the rest of America, Manhattan is an aging community. Where I Belong , which provides home health care services to seniors and their families who can afford them privately. About one-fourth of Manhattan's nonelderly adults have no health insurance. There are specific diseases that are prevalent in Manhattan, including diabetes, cardiopulmonary disease and wounds and ostomies.
