Zawiski Award for Leadership


Each year the Renal Healthcare Association recognizes one dedicated individual who is a thought leader in the kidney care industry by honoring them with the Mark Zawiski Award for Outstanding Leadership. These leaders go above and beyond the call of duty, face challenges head-on, and put the interests of patients and their communities above their own. 

This award is named after Mark Zawiski; a dialysis facility administrator who tirelessly worked on behalf of dialysis patients and associations supporting independent dialysis providers. Through various volunteer leadership roles, Mark shared his experience, advocated, and uplifted other independent dialysis providers. We honor Mark's legacy of service and dedication through this annual award.
