Established in October, 2008, this upstart company is now providing healthcare navigation services to thousands of employees in three states. Due to rapid growth in 2010, ConnectCare3 recently hired two new nurses and an administrative assistant to meet the needs of our growing client base:
Karen Osborne
Karen Obsorne who lives in Nottingham, PA has obtained a Master’s Degree in Nursing-Leadership from Wilmington University and is licensed as an RN in PA, MD, VA and DE. She has 20 years of nursing experience and will be providing patient advocacy services throughout Pennsylvania and to the expanded client base in Maryland
Stephanie Mesaric
Stephanie Mesaric who resides in Dillsburg, PA has obtained her Master’s Degree in Holistic Health and has over 30 years of nursing experience. She was most recently employed as the Oncology Territory Research Manager for Merck. Stephanie’s background will provide additional research capabilities and expand upon the company’s patient navigation services.
The idea for ConnectCare3 was born after Samuel N. Lombardo, President and CEO of ConnectCare3 was diagnosed with a brain tumor. During his treatment, Mr. Lombardo found that seriously ill patients needed assistance in finding the best treatment options, doctors and facilities in order to achieve the best outcomes.
The service was launched in 2008 when it began serving municipal governments and authorities in central Pennsylvania. Today, the company has quadrupled the number of clients it serves to encompass more than 50,000 employees (and their dependents) from school districts, colleges, county governments, nursing homes and several private sector companies throughout Pennsylvania, Maryland and New Jersey.
