Following her retirement from VNSNY, Marki was appointed to the Pace University Board of Trustees, where she serves on several committees. Ms. Flannery has over 41 years of health care leadership experience and is often referred to as the "definition of a true subject matter expert in home care." She knows the industry and is respected by all levels of staff from the C-Suite executives to more than 10,000+ home health aides that were under her employment. She is a known leader who continues to be an advocate for all home care staff levels, which explains why Marki is energized to be working with the CareConnect team and excited to be associated with a resource who can help address the shortage of workers in home care. "Working with CareConnect at a time when home care workers and agencies need help to maximize their work is key. By centralizing access to key functions, the workforce optimization tool saves agency staff valuable time, making it easier to manage and maintain a larger, ready-to-work caregiver pool, so agency owners can fill shifts more quickly," stated Marki.

"We are so excited to have Marki on our Advisory Board," confirmed Michael Gelman, President and COO CareConnect.
