Dr. Mark McIlwain has been named to the board of directors for the Alabama School of Healthcare Sciences (ASHS) in Demopolis.
McIlwain specializes in oral and maxillofacial surgery, facial trauma, emergency medicine and anesthesia safety.
He is a native of Butler and is an Honor Graduate of Patrician Academy in 1974. He has a Bachelor of Science, magna cum laude, in Biology and Psychology from the University of Alabama New College in 1978.
“Growing up in the Black Belt made me well aware of the difficulties in rural healthcare, and I have urged and encouraged those looking at healthcare careers to consider efforts to improve rural access to care,” he said in an announcement.
“Working with Doctors in all 67 Alabama counties gives me the privilege of contacting and soliciting a broad range of possible funding sources for this statewide healthcare high school.”
He is the recipient of a Fuller Award and the UAB School of Dentistry Distinguished Dentist Award. They are said to be the "highest" honors in Alabama dentistry.
He will be inducted into the Alabama Healthcare Hall of Fame this year.
