He believes Whole Person Healthcare involves listening and allowing patients to ask questions. He joined think to make a positive impact on patients as a clinical pharmacist, saying, “I have always wanted to work for Think and to be a clinical pharmacist making a positive impact for patients. I was able to do some of that working in a pharmacy, but at think, I can do it all day.”

One patient story that resonates with Mark is about a patient who came to the pharmacy in a difficult mood. Mark recalls, “I had a patient who was having a tough day. She was angry and impatient at the pharmacy. No one wanted to help her except me. I empathized with her and took care of her, and in the end, she walked away smiling and laughing.”

Outside work, Mark enjoys gardening, coaching, playing sports, and spending time with his family. He enjoys Creighton basketball and Notre Dame football.
