My name is Sami Almadi, Senior Administrator for the North End Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center located in Boston, MA. My healthcare journey began more than 25 years ago as Registered Nurse. Since that time I have served in many capacities starting as a night nurse and ending as a Director of Nursing Service shortly after I obtained a Master in Science Degree with emphasis on nursing administration. I worked in a multitude of settings ranging from: acute hospitals, LTACs, Home Care, and Skilled Nursing facilities. Over time, I transitioned into the role of an Administrator. During that transition, I further
improved upon my clinical skills and financial experience by completing a second master in Management from Harvard University.
In early 2018, shortly after North End Rehab was acquired I began working for Marquis Health Services. The acquisition was a challenging and an exciting task. One of the many great things about North End Rehab is it’s location; the facility is located in the heart of Boston. I can see Paul Revere’s house from one of my windows and when I turn around, in one direction I face the amazing Boston’s skyline and in the
other direction my view is the famous Greenway Garden. The Garden, which once was the site of one the biggest engineering projects in the world, is called “the Big Dig”.
The North End Rehab was created by its community and is telling of how instrumental they will be in our journey to succeed. Most of our residents are natives of the North End, which is often referred to as “Little Italy”. It is very common to have relatives; a cousin, an aunt, or an uncle rehabbing at the same time and visiting each other in their rooms during their stay. Most days, when I am out and about in our neighborhood it is very common to have a community member or business owner ask about one of our patients/residents, receive a comment about our choice of a paint color, or receive a compliment regarding the care and staff.
