Cory Fosco has spent over three decades working at the intersection of long-term care, healthcare technology, and the families facing some of the most difficult decisions of their lives.
His career in elder care began where the best ones often do—not in a boardroom, but on the ground. After graduating from Loyola University Chicago, he accepted a full-time volunteer position with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps, working as an outreach worker for a senior center in Mesa, Arizona. That experience—learning to identify what older adults needed, providing the resources to meet those needs, and above all, caring—set the course for everything that followed.
He went on to serve as a Social Worker and Director of Admissions at two skilled nursing facilities in Phoenix, and later as Director of Admissions and Market Development Manager for HCR ManorCare. Those years working directly with residents, families, and care teams gave him a perspective on this work that no amount of time in an executive suite can replicate.
From there, Fosco moved into healthcare technology. He served in senior executive roles at ECIN and Resource Systems before joining PointClickCare in 2017, where he currently serves as Vice President of Enterprise Sales. PointClickCare is the most widely used cloud-based technology platform in skilled nursing and senior living in North America.
Parallel to his professional life, Fosco earned a Master of Arts in Creative Nonfiction from Northwestern University and spent nearly a decade teaching writing at the community college level. His short fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry have appeared in numerous literary magazines. His chapbook, Empty Streets, was published by Alien Buddha Press in June 2024.
Fosco serves on the advisory board of Disability Rights Advocates and has volunteered with Second Sense and Guide Dogs for the Blind, including teaching creative writing in support of the blind and vision-impaired community—a cause close to his heart through his wife, Cyndi, who is vision impaired and an active advocate in the blind community.
He lives in the Chicago area.
