About Our Founder’s Message

The monthly Founder’s Message was born from Focused Post Acute Care Partner’s president and CEO Mark McKenzie’s desire to keep an open communication with the Focused Care family, residents and their family members, families searching for a long term care option and the general public.  It began with introducing the company, what led Mark, a leader in the Texas long term care sector for decades, to constructing his own unique business model for skilled nursing care, and conveying to those who visited the website the mission and objectives set to enhance health outcomes and make life meaningful for Focused Care residents.

As time went on, it became clear that Mark had more on his mind than telling readers about long term care.  The Founder’s Message has become a platform for Mark to reach out to the team members at Focused Care, applaud them, thank them for their commitment and dedication and encourage them to reach back out to him with anything that’s on their mind. The Founder’s Message also grew into a place where ongoing events are discussed and comfort and encouragement given as it has addressed mass shootings, social injustice and the devastating toll the pandemic has wrought on all our lives.

The Founder’s Message presents a look into the character of Focused Post Acute Care Partners and how its mission extends far beyond the walls of its long term care communities.

A Message From Focused Care's Founder

Mark McKenzie, Founder and Managing Partner

Founder’s Message

We might all be seeing a lot of Year in Review segments on television, Youtube or social media links – this is the time when a montage of the last year’s events is offered up to remind us of the seminal moments – on a national and international scale – that occurred in the past year. It’s worth reviewing in our own minds the moments that moved us – one way or the other – in our personal lives and also those in our professional lives. The process doesn’t deliver the happiest or most disconcerting things exclusively – it offers both. And I think that’s a good thing because when we take stock in the past year wholistically – it offers us perspective and a launching pad into the New Year.

I begin 2025 with the utmost optimism as to how we move forward as a company and a community and this is due to our exciting transition of Lori Strubbe taking the helm as CEO of Focused Post Acute Care Partners. Lori is our 4-star General going into the new year and we wouldn’t be making this transition unless I had complete confidence in her ability to lead our mission to ensure success.
