Check Out This VNSNY 125th Video of Historical Film Footage and Photos

A groundbreaking visionary, Lillian Wald left behind an amazing legacy that includes, among other impressive accomplishments, New York City public playgrounds, equal rights advocacy, public health nursing, school nurses and, of course, the Visiting Nurse Service of New York (VNSNY).

In celebration of VNSNY’s 125th anniversary, the VNSNY Marketing Department worked with a noted Lillian Wald documentarian to create a short video about Lillian Wald’s trailblazing work that captures VNSNY’s early years. Produced from hours of long-forgotten film footage and hundreds of photos dating back to the 1920s, this visual record covers Lillian’s innovative contributions, from the transformation of public health to the establishment of a social safety-net for vulnerable Americans.
