Mark M. Martin brings over 40 years of experience in healthcare management, sales, and executive leadership. Before founding Progressive Medical, Inc. (PMI), Mark held leadership roles in critical care, cardiovascular services, and hospital administration. He then moved into healthcare sales with a medical specialty dealer, where his achievements led him to become Director of National Accounts.

Mark founded PMI in 1986, motivated by his entrepreneurial vision. Since then, the company has become a national specialty medical device distributor, serving both acute and non-acute healthcare settings across surgery, IV therapy, and other clinical fields. His leadership has helped make PMI one of the first national specialty dealers in the healthcare industry.

Mark continues to oversee company operations, including product selection, national account strategy, senior leadership support, and the development of PMI’s private-label product portfolio. He has also built and guided a national, clinically trained sales team focused on delivering meaningful value to healthcare providers. Throughout his career, Mr. Martin has remained committed to identifying safe, effective, and cost-conscious healthcare products that support clinical efficiency and help improve patient outcomes.

Mark’s interest in medicine started early, inspiring him to earn a Nursing Diploma from Deaconess Hospital School of Nursing, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, and a Master’s degree in Cardiovascular Nursing and Administration from St. Louis University. He also holds an MBA in Marketing and Finance from Lindenwood University.
