We'll be profiling each of the winners on our website the week of May 5, as well as in our print and digital editions. This year's winners were chosen by Long-Term Living's editorial team. These honorees exemplify professionals who are making a difference in their towns and states while serving as exemplar models for others across the country. We know that there are many more upcoming leaders in the long-term and post-acute care who merit recognition, and we look forward to honoring them in years to come. Perhaps you'll be among them.
