Debbie Sorace, Manager, Marketing

“It’s incredibly rewarding to be involved with projects that communicate the wonderful work that VNSNY does.”

Handling a wide range of projects, Debbie plays a key role within the Marketing team. “In my job, I have the privilege to collaborate with the marketing leadership and various VNSNY colleagues on marketing plans to expand awareness of VNSNY’s extensive services and clinical expertise,” she says. “It’s incredibly rewarding to be involved with projects that communicate the wonderful work that VNSNY does, and that position VNSNY as a thought leader within the industry.” Having been in a caregiving role much of her life—her sister has special needs, and more recently her mother was a patient with VNSNY Home Care, then VNSNY Hospice and Palliative Care—Debbie is very much in sync with VNSNY and its values. “For me, what resonates is our organization’s mission,” she says. “I find it rewarding to be able to help someone on a personal level—even if it’s just saying good morning, or holding the door open for somebody. It really goes back to the golden rule—we have one life to live, and I believe you should spend it treating people the way you would want to be treated.” With more than eight years at VNSNY, she adds, “also serving as a Mission Champion (twice) within the organization is a heartwarming experience, honor and privilege. There are so many people here who do phenomenal work. I’m humbled and grateful to be a part of that.”
