Two Directors Appointed to Business Alliance Board of Directors

MacDonald

DELHI — Joan MacDonald, Executive Director of Helios Care, and Florencio Navarro, owner of FNBC Corp. in Margaretville, were recently appointed as directors of the Delaware County Business Alliance.  They will complete unexpired terms through 2026.

Joan MacDonald is an accomplished healthcare executive and transformational leader with over 15 years of experience advancing patient-centered care across rural communities. As Chief Executive Officer of Helios Care, a not-for-profit hospice and palliative care organization serving Delaware, Otsego, and Schoharie counties in New York, Joan is dedicated to ensuring that every individual facing serious illness or end-of-life receives compassionate, dignified, and equitable care. A passionate advocate for rural health, Joan sits on multiple regional coalitions and statewide committees addressing workforce development, aging policy, and end-of-life care. She continues to lead Helios Care with the guiding mission of “making life easier for patients and families facing serious illness or end of life by providing choices, dignity, and compassionate care.”

Florencio Navarro started FNBC Corporation, a professional cleaning service, in 1987, soon after arriving in New York from his native Peru.  His goals were to create more jobs for my family, have equal pay for the fellow immigrants of the city, and educate the public on the best cleaning and maintenance practices. Whatever the task that is needed, Florencio seeks to have a solution. He wants to make a difference in people's lives through his services for my clients and, in turn, their clients. Florencio relocated his three businesses to Margaretville a few years ago and carried those principles of service to his new community.
