Thrive55+ Active Living center Is Among Top 5 “Best in Wellness” Community Centers in North America
Thrive55+ is proud to announce that it is a winner of the 2022 ICAA NuStep Pinnacle Award, which recognizes the top five “Best in Wellness” community centers in North America.
“Congratulations to these exemplary organizations that are leading the way in wellness based models in the active-aging industry,” says Colin Milner, CEO and founder of ICAA. “We are thrilled to recognize their ongoing commitment and passion to fostering a wide variety of engaging opportunities for members, clients and staff to live better longer.”
The Pinnacle Award now includes three categories: senior living communities, community centers (senior centers, parks & recreation facilities, adult day services) and wellness CEOs.
Prioritizing and nurturing the many aspects of wellness enables individuals to embrace their potential to pursue and optimize life’s possibilities. As the older adult population grows, community centers can significantly impact health, longevity and quality of life by establishing wellness as an essential and beneficial way of life. Wellness is not simply something to add to programs and services; instead, it is a mindset and foundation that permeates every aspect of life for all members, clients and staff of community centers. Winners of the ICAA NuStep Pinnacle Award like Thrive55+ serve as exceptional examples for others to emulate.
