Mark Levy, worked<br />
for 28 years in corporate<br />
America. He served as<br />
vice president of operations<br />
for an Illinois-based<br />
company. In 2009, he suffered<br />
a stroke at the age of<br />
47.<br />
While he was fortunate<br />
enough to recover without<br />
any long-term residual effects,<br />
his life was forever<br />
changed. He developed a<br />
new perspective after navigating<br />
the medical world<br />
looking for direction.<br />
In 2012, Mark transitioned<br />
to the senior care<br />
industry and opened his<br />
office in Homewood.<br />
Levy and his team are<br />
dedicated to helping seniors<br />
and their families<br />
find the peace of mind<br />
they deserve.<br />
