Joanna Adduci
Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care
Marketing Manager
Joanna Adduci serves New York as the marketing manager for GoHealth Urgent Care. In this role, she supports a network of 50+ urgent care centers that are built and operated in partnership with Northwell Health. Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care employs over 550 doctors, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, radiologic technologists, medical assistants, and scribes.
Adduci started with GoHealth Urgent Care in July 2018 and was instrumental in the launch of the GoHealth Urgent Care’s first pediatric service line and centers, in partnership with Cohen Children’s Northwell Health, and later the launch of Virtual Visits, providing more access to care for community members via video.
Adduci’s community relations expertise proved essential as the region began to grapple with the first outbreak of COVID-19. She was a driving force in supporting a testing program for first responders, including the NYPD, FDNY and MTA – personally fielding hundreds of first responder inquiries daily. She also worked alongside community partners and local families to donate dozens of meals and supplies to frontline teams. She later co-designed and shared “The Rainbow Project” and “Healthcare Hero” programs to promote ‘togetherness’ via social media and local, online community groups.
Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care achieved recognition as a Bethpage Best of LI Urgent Care Company not only on Long Island, but also Brooklyn and the boroughs for consecutive years, in addition to recognition from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Urgent Care Association of America for its Antibiotic Stewardship Program.
Prior to joining GoHealth Urgent Care, Adduci was the Director of Marketing and Community Relations for a private school in Long Island. She also worked for Harlem Village Academies, one of the leading educational organizations in New York, where she taught after-school journalism classes to children in the East Harlem community.
Adduci is honored to be nominated for the Healthcare Heroes series and excited about continuing to serve the Greater New York communities with an effortless healthcare experience and a culture of care.
