Nonprofit will host 75th Anniversary Breakfast on Tuesday, March 26, 2024, with health equity champion Nzinga "Zing" Shaw and award-winning journalist Rose Scott

ATLANTA, Jan. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Visting Nurse Health System, Georgia's first and largest nonprofit provider of healthcare and aging at home, is celebrating 75 years of service. Since 1948, Visiting Nurse has provided care for nearly two million patients and caregivers in Georgia, working to improve the lives of those we serve and positively impacted the well-being of our patients, families, and community.

To commemorate 75 years of serving, Visiting Nurse Health System is hosting a 75th Anniversary Breakfast on Tuesday, March 26, 2024, at 7:30 a.m. - 9:30 a.m. at The Fox Theater in Atlanta. All proceeds from this event will support charitable care for low-income seniors. Sponsorships and tickets are available on the organization's website, under 75th Anniversary.

"We believe everyone should have fair and equal access to healthcare at home, regardless of their zip code or financial circumstances." Dorothy M. Davis, President and CEO of Visiting Nurse Health System.

Moderated by NPR affiliate WABE's award-winning and veteran journalist Rose Scott, in addition to discussions with Visiting Nurse Health System staff and patient families, the breakfast will include a memorable keynote from Nzinga "Zing" Shaw, President & CEO of Attack the Glass, a full-service DEI consultancy firm. A longtime champion of diversity, equity and inclusion, Zing has also served as the Chief DEI Officer at The Recording Academy and was the first Chief Inclusion & Diversity Officer at four blue chip organizations: Edelman, Starbucks, Marsh McLennan, and the NBA.

"We believe everyone should have fair and equal access to healthcare at home, regardless of their zip code or financial circumstances," states Dorothy M. Davis, President and CEO of Visiting Nurse Health System. "What began as two nurses serving Fulton and DeKalb counties, we serve 57 counties caring for nearly 15,000 patients each year. Having the privilege of caring for patients in their own homes, we have the unique ability to see patient's needs beyond healthcare, including the social determinants of health such as food, transportation, housing, and social isolation."

"Every single person is growing older each day, and we all deserve the opportunity to age with dignity, in our homes," said Jimmy Carlos, Chairman of Visiting Nurse's Healthcare Champions Committee. "I am a Healthcare Champion and active supporter of Visiting Nurse Health System because I believe in its mission of providing healthcare and aging at home for everyone. Without Visiting Nurse, many Georgians would be without care."
