The countdown to the final nomination days for the McKnight’s Pinnacle awards has begun. Submissions will be accepted through midnight Thursday (Oct. 27).
The McKnight’s Pinnacle Awards honor top performers in virtually all ranges of the sector, from healthcare provider to business partner, to ancillary services provider to research and other administrative professionals. Nominees should have 20 years or more of service.
Leaders and outstanding colleagues in skilled nursing, senior living and home care are eligible in several divisions. Business partners and “allies” of the industry also will be recognized.
“This is an outstanding way to recognize the men and women who have been the backbone and veterans of long-term care through the years. The list of possible winners is incredibly long,” said McKnight’s Editorial Director John O’Connor. “We look forward to celebrating them in fitting style with an uplifting ceremony in March.”
Colleagues, bosses, mentors, managers, friends and other worthy individuals are expected to be among the inaugural nomination class. An impartial, national panel of judges will assess the entries.
Finalists will be announced Dec. 1, with the program culminating in a grand awards ceremony and reception March 7 in Chicago.
The five main categories, which may recognize multiple winners in each, are:
• Setting the Standard Award
• Agent of Change Award
• Inspiration Award

• Unsung Hero Award
The 2023 McKnight’s Pinnacle Awards also will bestow a Career Achievement Award winner chosen by event organizers.
