Mark Mullinax, R.N.
President
Mark Mullinax, R.N., is the President of the Asbestos Health Line. He came to this position after spending many years in the hospice community, first as a nurse, and eventually in a number of executive positions.
Throughout his time in hospice, Mark saw first-hand how devastating the illnesses associated with exposure to asbestos can be. “Until you’ve seen it, you cannot really understand how terrible the diseases asbestos can cause actually are,” says Mark.
One of the reasons Mark joined Asbestos Health Line is that it gave him the opportunity to once-again interact with patients as a nurse. Mark personally meets with the vast majority of Asbestos Health Line’s clients and sets the standard of caring professionalism that all Asbestos Health Line employees follow.
Mark is an avid fisherman, and one of his favorite perks of this job is having our clients share the location of their favorite fishing holes.

Leendert Keus
Pulmonary Function Test Technician
Leendert “Lane” Keus is a Registered Pulmonary Function Test technician who performs pulmonary function tests on Asbestos Health Line’s clients. Lane is the manager of the entire pulmonary function laboratory for a major hospital.
Lane ensures that all of our clients receive the same caliber of pulmonary function tests at Asbestos Health Line as they would at a top hospital. “The pulmonary function machines I use are top-of-the-line and cost close to $30,000 dollars. I was impressed that Asbestos Health Line invested in two of these machines instead of the less-accurate $1,500 dollar hand-held machines that some offices use,” says Lane.
Lane is a tremendous asset to the Asbestos Health Line team and truly enjoys working with our clients to get a true picture of their lung health.
