Healthcare Leaders Recognized for DEIB, Sustainability, and Social Impact with 2025 Prism Awards
The healthcare landscape is increasingly defined not only by clinical excellence but also by a commitment to social responsibility and ethical practices. Today, WTWH Healthcare announced the distinguished recipients of the 2025 Prism Awards, a program dedicated to honoring individuals and organizations demonstrating exceptional achievements in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEIB), Environmental Sustainability, and Social Stewardship. These awards spotlight a growing trend within the industry: recognizing that a healthy community requires a holistic approach that extends beyond patient care.
“The Prism Awards are fundamentally about celebrating those who are actively shaping a better future for healthcare,” stated Tim Mullaney, VP and editorial director, WTWH Healthcare. “This year’s honorees exemplify leadership with compassion, fostering environments and communities that are more inclusive, environmentally conscious, and deeply connected. We are proud to acknowledge their accomplishments and share their stories with the wider healthcare world.”
Championing Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging
The Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEIB) Champion Award recognizes individuals who have spearheaded meaningful progress in DEIB initiatives within their organizations and the broader healthcare sector. These leaders aren’t simply implementing policies; they are cultivating cultures of belonging where every voice is valued and respected. But what truly defines a successful DEIB strategy? It’s not merely about representation, but about creating equitable opportunities and dismantling systemic barriers.
This year’s DEIB Champions are:
- Cleopatra Lightfoot-Booker, Chief Clinical Officer, Forge Health (Behavioral Health)
- Constance Dogan, Vice President of Environmental Services & Diversity Officer, Waverly Heights (Senior Housing & Senior Living)
- Muziet Shata, Culture, Diversity & Inclusion Director, Help at Home (Home Health & Home Care)
The Rise of Sustainable Healthcare Practices
Healthcare, by its very nature, is a resource-intensive industry. Recognizing this, a growing number of organizations are prioritizing environmental sustainability, not just as a matter of corporate responsibility, but as a critical component of long-term viability. The Green Guardian Award celebrates those companies leading the charge in reducing their environmental footprint and adopting eco-friendly practices. How can healthcare organizations balance the need for advanced medical technology with the imperative to protect our planet?
The 2025 Green Guardian Award winners are:
- New Day Healthcare (Home Health & Home Care)
- RoseVilla Senior Living (Senior Housing & Senior Living)
- Waverly Heights (Senior Housing & Senior Living)
Investing in Community Well-being: Social Stewardship in Action
Healthcare extends far beyond the walls of hospitals and clinics. Organizations with a strong sense of social stewardship understand their responsibility to contribute to the well-being of the communities they serve. The Social Stewardship Award honors companies that are actively engaged in philanthropic efforts, community partnerships, and outreach programs. What role should healthcare organizations play in addressing social determinants of health, such as food insecurity and housing instability?
The recipients of the 2025 Social Stewardship Award are:
- Executive Home Care (Home Health & Home Care)
- Greater Essex Counseling Services (Behavioral Health)
- Maxim Healthcare (Home Health & Home Care)
- Signature HealthCARE (Skilled Nursing)
- The Estates at Carpenters (Senior Housing & Senior Living)

WTWH Healthcare extends its sincere congratulations to all the 2025 Prism Award winners. Their dedication to DEIB, sustainability, and social stewardship serves as an inspiration to the entire healthcare community.
