Melanie Plaksin,

Vice president of experience, DispatchHealth
Plaksin supports DispatchHealth in its mission of “bringing the power of the hospital to the comfort of home.” She launched her seven-year career at the company with positions as market director for Colorado and vice president of market growth. She previously worked as director of client solutions at Welltok. In December 2020, Plaksin answered a call from Delta Airlines to develop COVID-19 testing locations at gates for international flights to several European destinations. While doing so, she created the protocols—and mobilized the staff members—that were necessary for success at a challenging time during the pandemic.
