Rita Mabli, president and CEO of United Hebrew in New Rochelle, recently announced the appointment of Mark Sanchez as the award-winning senior living community’s new nursing home administrator. With a distinctive background, combining over a decade of extensive health-care experience Sanchez also brings a robust foundation in business and finance.
Sanchez’s journey in long-term care began at the age of 14 when his parents acquired Green Hills Estates, an assisted living facility in Rockland County. Growing up with a nurse educator mother and an attorney father, he was immersed in the world of senior care. His early experiences in the facility, witnessing his mother serve as the administrator and developing his own relationships with residents, ignited his passion for the field.
After earning his MBA from the Asian Institute of Management in Manila, Philippines, Sanchez worked for several years in banking and finance while helping his mother on weekends at Green Hills Estates. Eventually, he realized he derived more fulfillment working in senior care and left banking to pursue a certification in Long-Term Care Administration. He completed his Administrator-in-Training internship at United Hebrew in 2012, working with Mabli and stayed on as a weekend administrator until 2015, when he left to take on the role of administrator at Green Hills Estate Health Services Group, where he managed adult home, assisted living and social adult daycare programs for the past seven years.
He described his vision for his new role as continuing to uphold the organization’s high standards, noting, “I’m here to listen and collaborate. United Hebrew is already a top-tier facility,and my goal is to fine-tune the operations for even greater efficiency. I believe in leveraging the expertise within the organization to make continuous improvements.”
United Hebrew of New Rochelle a vibrant not-for-profit, nonsectarian, multiservice facility situated on a campus with 7.5 acres has been serving the Westchester metropolitan area since 1919, and today, serves more than 1,000 residents and clients daily on its Harry and Jeannette Weinberg Campus and within the Westchester community.
