April Diaz, RN, BS

Vice President of Clinical Services
Marquis Companies
Milwaukie, OR, United States

Her first job out of college was in a skilled nursing facility, and it was there that April Diaz discovered a passion for serving senior residents and families—and for the long-term care profession in general. Her professional journey covers more than 27 years of nursing in senior care, and includes experience as a Director of Nursing, Nurse Consultant, VP of Clinical Services and Expert legal consultant.
Though she’s a hands-on nurse at heart, her greatest reward is in guiding broad, system changes that improve care for all residents. She’s proud that Marquis’ facilities regularly receive Five-Star ratings well above the national average, but achieving such accolades isn’t her primary focus. “When we work at the highest clinical level to improve the safety and well-being of residents and support the passion of our staff to take care of them, great quality metrics will fall into place,” she says.
Active in both state and national Association Committees, including OHCA legal and Quality council committees, American Health Care Association serving on both the Survey and Regulatory Committee and Quality Cabinet. She is currently serving as sub-committee lead of the Moving Forward Nursing Home Quality Coalition, which will develop, test and promote action plans of the seven goals of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) report, The National Imperative to Improve Nursing Home Quality.
