Visiting Nurse Service & Hospice of Suffolk

Visiting Nurse Service & Hospice of Suffolk VNSHS provides quality home health care and hospice care in Suffolk County.

For 70 years, Visiting Nurse Service & Hospice of Suffolk (VNSHS) has been providing health care of the highest quality to patients regardless of race, religion, age, s*x, or ability to pay. With a tradition of professional, charitable, and compassionate care, our skilled home nursing and hospice services, inpatient Hospice House, home health aides, and community programs such as flu shot and blood pressure clinics and bereavement groups serve residents throughout Suffolk County. We provide post-acute care for patients in their homes, which may include assisted living facilities and inpatient care in our Hospice House. As an independent, not-for-profit healthcare agency rooted in the community, VNSHS understands the needs of the community. Incorporated in 1952, VNSHS is the first visiting nurse agency in Suffolk County and, in 2004, founded Hospice House, the first freestanding inpatient hospice in New York State. Hospice House is an 8-bed inpatient facility designed specifically to meet the needs of patients as they face the end of life and their families.

Visiting Nurse Service & Hospice of Suffolk honors Shelia Pariser for her dedicated service to our hospice and the Town of Huntington.

At this month’s Town Board meeting, Councilwoman Theresa Mari and the Town Board were proud to present a proclamation in memory of Sheila Pariser, a resident of Huntington who dedicated more than four decades of her life to serving others with various local organizations. Ms. Pariser was an active member of the Huntington chapter of the American Red Cross and volunteered with the Huntington Freedom Center (now known as Head Start), Huntington Hospital, and the Visiting Nurse Service and Hospice of Suffolk. Perhaps most notably, Ms. Pariser was a longtime member of Soroptimist International of Suffolk County, where she held the positions of President, Vice President, and Director, and earned the Woman of the Year Award for her advocacy on behalf of women and families.

The Town of Huntington is grateful to Ms. Pariser for her exceptional service to the people of Huntington and proud to honor her memory.
