Jennifer Solomon, the Eastern Division vice president at Life Care Centers of America, has been honored with the 2025 Richard T. Sadler Distinguished Association Service Award by the Tennessee Health Care Association (THCA). The prestigious award was presented at the annual THCA/TNCAL Convention and Trade Show, which took place from August 20-22 at the Music City Center in Nashville.
This award recognizes individuals who show exceptional leadership and dedication to the activities and programs of the THCA. It is named in honor of Richard T. Sadler, the former executive director of the association, who played a pivotal role in its development. Solomon’s receipt of this award highlights her significant contributions to the health care sector in Tennessee.
In her acceptance of the award, Solomon expressed her humility at being recognized alongside past award winners and acknowledged the strong support provided by THCA to both facilities and residents. She emphasized that the recognition is a reflection of the collective efforts within Life Care Centers of America, underscoring the role of teamwork in delivering quality care in daily operations.
With over 30 years of experience in long-term care, Solomon began her career as a certified nursing assistant. She has been with Life Care Centers of America since 1997 and rose through the ranks to become the Eastern Division vice president in 2019, overseeing operations across six states. Her extensive experience in the field has equipped her with the skills and knowledge necessary to lead effectively and foster a culture of collaboration.
Life Care Centers of America, which was established in 1976, manages or operates over 200 skilled nursing and senior living campuses across 27 states, with its headquarters located in Cleveland, Tennessee. The organization is recognized for its commitment to high standards of care, contributing significantly to the well-being of residents in the communities it serves.
The THCA/TNCAL Convention serves as a vital platform for health care professionals to gather, share insights, and discuss challenges in the evolving landscape of health care. The recent event not only celebrated the achievements of individuals like Solomon but also provided opportunities for learning and collaboration among peers in the industry. By recognizing leaders in the field, events like these contribute to the overall improvement of health care services for the aging population in Tennessee.
As the long-term care sector continues to evolve, the recognition of leadership and service, as exemplified by Solomon and the Richard T. Sadler Distinguished Association Service Award, remains crucial in promoting excellence and innovation in health care practices across the state.
