On today’s episode, I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Lois Bowers, the powerhouse editor behind McKnight's Senior Living.

We went deep into the McKnight’s Excellence in Technology Awards – the history, the growth, and all the behind-the-scenes action that makes it such a meaningful event in our industry. Lois shared how the awards have evolved over 15 years (yep, 15!), from just a handful of categories to a fully loaded, inclusive program recognizing the best and brightest across senior living, skilled nursing, home care, and beyond.

We talked about what it really takes to stand out – not just flashy tech, but real-world impact, smart collaboration between vendors and providers, and how these stories are changing the game for residents and staff alike.

If you're passionate about innovation in senior care or just want a closer look at what makes these awards so special, this one’s for you. And bonus – Lois gives us some insight into how McKnight’s continues to lead conversations around the future of care.

Let’s get into it.
