McKnight’s 40 for 40
McKnight’s 40 for 40: Thomas J. DeRosa
Welltower, which consistently earns spots at the top of the American Seniors Housing Association’s ASHA 50 ranking of largest senior living owners and Argentum’s list of biggest REITs, has displayed innovative thinking under Thomas “Tom” DeRosa, who has been CEO since April 2014.
McKnight’s 40 for 40: Sheldon L. Goldberg
Long-term care may be constantly changing. Still, some issues never seem to vanish. Take uneven survey and enforcement practices. A recent problem? Hardly.

McKnight’s 40 for 40: James Balda
With a background including leadership roles at the National Restaurant Association and America’s Health Insurance Plans, James Balda may not have been the most obvious choice to lead an association representing operators of independent living, assisted living, memory care and continuing care retirement communities.
McKnight’s 40 for 40: Brian Jurutka

Kramer as president and CEO of the National Investment Center for Seniors Housing & Care.
McKnight’s 40 for 40: Wendy Simpson
When Wendy Simpson joined the board of real estate investment trust LTC Properties in 1995, she now admits, she was a tad green about long-term care financing. It sure didn’t take long for Simpson to catch up.
McKnight’s 40 for 40: Cynthia Morton
Cynthia Morton, a key go-to person for expertise on long-term care and post-acute care public policy issues, developed her path one step at a time.

My favorite teacher of all time is still going at it, as she has been for more than five decades. She’s Leah Klusch.
McKnight’s 40 for 40: Leah Klusch
