Marchione joined Regional Hospice after serving four years as CEO of Danbury Radiological Associates where she led six independent imaging centers across Connecticut. She also served as Executive Director of ancillary services at legacy Western Connecticut Health Network, now Nuvance Health, for 11 years where she oversaw laboratory and imaging service lines.

“As we proudly celebrate our 40^th anniversary, we look forward with excitement and anticipation for ToniAnn continuing Cynthia’s impressive legacy as well as the new perspectives and vision she will bring to the table,” said Mulvaney. “ToniAnn has demonstrated a deep commitment to compassionate, patient-centered care and fostering collaborative relationships within the healthcare industry.  The Board is confident that under her leadership Regional Hospice will achieve new heights as we continue to make a lasting impact on the lives of our patients and their families.”
