WTWH Healthcare Announces the 2025 Memory Care Innovation Awards



WTWH Healthcare, a subsidiary of WTWH Media, LLC, is excited to unveil the Memory Care Innovation Awards Class of 2025—a platform dedicated to recognizing trailblazers in the field of cognitive care. The awards aim to honor those individuals and organizations making significant strides in various sectors including behavioral health, home health and care, hospice and palliative care, as well as senior housing and skilled nursing.

As the demographic landscape shifts and the population ages, innovative approaches to memory care have become more crucial than ever. The Memory Care Innovation Awards celebrate visionaries who are dedicated to improving the lives of those diagnosed with memory-related disorders, while also enhancing the experiences of caregivers and families. Each honoree is committed to enhancing cognitive care delivery, with an emphasis on high-quality treatment and better health outcomes.

Tim Mullaney, the Vice President and editorial director at WTWH Healthcare, remarked, "The Memory Care Innovation Award winners exemplify what it means to push the field forward. Each honoree has demonstrated not only a profound commitment to improving quality of life for those living with memory-related conditions, but also a forward-looking vision for how care can evolve. Their work inspires hope and sets a higher standard for excellence."

The honorees will be recognized in upcoming issues of WTWH Healthcare publications, and they will receive invitations to the BUILD BRAIN Conference set to be held in Dallas, Texas, on November 6-7, 2025. This event will gather thought leaders from the memory care sector to discuss innovations, challenges, and future directions in cognitive care.
