At SMK Medical, we don’t just consult—we bring lived experience, proven results, and leadership that has been recognized at the highest levels of long-term care administration. Recently, our Senior Consultant, Dr. Demetrius Kirk (DNP, MBA, LNHA, FACHCA), was honored as a Fellow of the American College of Health Care Administrators (FACHCA).

This designation isn’t about titles or letters. It represents the body of work that has defined Dr. Kirk’s career and what SMK Medical is known for.

What Earned the Recognition

Over his career, Dr. Kirk has built a reputation for tackling the toughest challenges in post-acute care. His Fellowship was earned through real-world impact, including:

• Helping facilities close while protecting residents and staff with dignity.
• Opening new buildings, guiding leaders through compliance and operations from the ground up.
• Supporting facilities stuck on the SFF list, working side-by-side with administrators to drive measurable improvement.
• Training and mentoring more than 25 administrators in compliance, survey readiness, and leadership.
• Speaking on national stages about compliance, leadership, and the future of long-term care.
• Lobbying for change at the state and local level to strengthen the role of administrators and improve care systems.

These aren’t abstract achievements—they are the lived experiences that make SMK Medical a trusted partner for post-acute leaders.
