United Hebrew Welcomes Mark Sanchez as New Nursing Home Administrator

(New Rochelle, NY—December 7, 2023)….Rita Mabli, president & CEO of United Hebrew in New Rochelle, announced today the appointment of Mark Sanchez as the award-winning senior living community’s new Nursing Home Administrator. Sanchez brings a distinctive background, combining over a decade of extensive healthcare experience with a robust foundation in business and finance.

Mabli expressed her enthusiasm for his appointment: "Mark's non-traditional background brings a fresh perspective to our organization. His business acumen will be a huge asset as we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of the senior care industry. We are confident that his leadership will enhance our already exceptional team."

A ‘Homecoming’ to United Hebrew

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. He 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.

On returning to United Hebrew, Sanchez says: "This is not just a job for me; it's a homecoming. From spending my days as a teenager around my parents' facility to beginning my senior care career as an intern at United Hebrew, this place holds a special significance for me. It’s a huge honor to join an organization with an impeccable reputation and outstanding leadership team.”

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."

For her part, Mabli says United Hebrew looks forward to achieving new heights of excellence in nursing home care under Sanchez’s leadership. “His commitment to expert care and his dedication to the well-being of our residents align perfectly with our values.”

Sanchez is an active member of the American College of Health Care Administrators, serving on the National Mentoring Committee and as the Secretary and Executive Board Member of the NY Chapter. He is a New York State licensed nursing home administrator.
