It’s Official! November 1st Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony Marks the Completion of VNSNY’s Move to 220 East 42nd Street

VNSNY Board Chair John Rafferty and President and CEO Marki Flannery cut the ribbon to officially open VNSNY’s new 42nd Street office.

On November 1st, following a group count-down, President and CEO Marki Flannery and Board Chair John Rafferty officially cut the ribbon on VNSNY’s new 220 East 42nd Street office. The organization’s move into the new space had been completed just three days earlier, when the last wave of Manhattan staff members from Partners in Care made the transition from 1250 Broadway.

“This very same building was once the home of the Daily Planet newspaper in the Superman movies,” said Marki, as she addressed the group of employees and outside consultants who had gathered for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. “I think that’s very appropriate, because our move into this location would not have been possible without the amazing efforts of our own group of Supermen and Superwomen!”

Marki went on to thank the many individuals and departments who contributed to the remarkably seamless process, concluding with special thanks to the hundreds of staff members who actually made the move. “You’ve all been fantastic, settling right in here and never missing a step in providing care to our patients and members,” she noted. “This all goes to show that, while it may not take a village, it does take an entire organization to make a move this like happen!”

“This new space marks a bright new beginning—a fresh commitment to our mission, our patients and members and our long-term success,” added John Rafferty in his own remarks. “I have no doubt that this new workspace will also help take us to a very bright future!”
