Park Springs Healthcare Administrator Nadia Williams has been named a member of the 2021 class of McKnight’s Women of Distinction Rising Stars. Considered the hallmark of recognition for women leaders in the seniors care and living industries, the McKnight’s Women of Distinction Rising Stars were culled from hundreds of entries representing the brightest leaders in the industry under the age of 40. Nominations were judged by an external panel of industry experts.

“To say the least, this is a well-deserved honor,” McKnight’s Editorial Director John O’Connor said.

The annual awards program is administered jointly by McKnight’s Long-Term Care News and McKnight’s Senior Living to recognize women leaders in skilled nursing and senior living who inspire others and have a powerful effect on the lives of the individuals they serve. The judges were impressed with Nadia’s leadership throughout the pandemic – including the 75-day lock-in at Park Springs – in order to keep our members safe.

“Nadia represents everything right with senior care. She truly feels called to serve others, recognizing it often does call for personal sacrifice in order to do your job to the fullest,” shared Donna Moore, COO of Isakson Living, which owns and operates Park Springs. “Nadia is truly a rising star who has demonstrated an exceptional commitment to the senior living and care industry, and I am so proud to have the opportunity to work with her and see where she takes us next.”

This year’s Women of Distinction honorees will be recognized in a special online ceremony on May 18. To see the full list of inductees, and for more information about the program, visit www.mcknightswomenofdistinction.com.
