During his acceptance remarks, Mark praised AAPACN members for their dedication to the profession.
“As nurses, you're in the most in-demand profession,” he said. “You could work anywhere you want, but AAPACN members have chosen the most challenging setting – post-acute and long term care. God bless you, and thank you.”
AAPACN also shared a video honoring Mark for his 13-plus years of leadership at AHCA/NCAL and throughout the profession.
This recognition is one of many Mark has received over the past several months, including the McKnight's Career Achievement Award and a 2023 Top Lobbyist by The Hill, his 11th consecutive year to receive this honor. He also had the distinction of being selected as one of the “100 Most Influential People in Healthcare” by Modern Healthcare in 2023 for the fifth time.
Mark recently announced his retirement at the end of 2024 but continues to look to the future of the profession.
“The most exciting times in the history of the profession are yet to come.”
