ConnextCare selects company COO as its next CEO

PULASKI, N.Y. — The woman who has been serving as executive VP and chief operating officer of ConnextCare will become the organization’s top official later this year.

ConnextCare, which provides health-care services to northern Oswego County, is promoting Tricia Peter-Clark to president and CEO, effective June 4. Peter-Clark will succeed Dan Dey in that role, the organization announced. 

ConnextCare was previously known as NOCHSI, or Northern Oswego County Health Services Inc. 

Prior to joining ConnextCare in 2013, Peter-Clark was the coordinator of the Rural Health Network of Oswego County and director of health operations, both under the auspices of Oswego County Opportunities (OCO). 

“ConnextCare will undoubtedly continue its success under the very capable leadership of Tricia,” Dey said in a statement. “Her accomplishments have been innumerable and remarkable since joining ConnextCare when it acquired several primary-care practices from OCO and Oswego Health in 2013. She has been singularly instrumental in building a cohesive and positive culture among the initially diverse programs and effecting a very successful re-branding from Northern Oswego County Health Services, Inc. to the symbolic ConnextCare. Among her many notable successes, she has been pivotal to guiding ConnextCare through the challenging COVID-19 pandemic.”
