Mark Strahl (BS, CHW)
​Care Director

Mark started out in the health care industry in 1990 owning and operating a care facility serving vulnerable adults while attending Gonzaga University, ultimately branching out to 2 care facilities in 2005.  In 2007 a senior family member was experiencing challenges with aging in place and while implementing changes he discovered the positive impact of supplementing direct care with today’s technology. Today he is a leading expert on Technology Enhanced Care (TEC) having founded and launched a Lifeline TeleCare agency in 2008 providing medical alerts and medication dispensers.  Mark took the initiative to work with area pharmacies to independently develop and implement proprietary compliant packaging for the Philips Medication Dispenser (PMD).  This additional level of support allows Lifeline clients to receive direct support from pharmacies resulting in improved outcomes while decreasing costs.  He furthered established The Complete Care Network designed to be patient centered to improve outcomes and reduce health care costs through a combined disciplinary approach focused on the 3 Pillars of Independent Living: Medication Management, Safety & Security, and Assisted Daily Living Tasks (ADL's). Today his family continues to offer the latest in medical alert technology and looks forward to bringing more (TEC) products to the area market.  He currently serves on the Board of Directors of Greater Spokane Meals on Wheels.
