American Senior Communities (ASC) CEO Donna Kelsey has been inducted into McKnight’s Women of Distinction Hall of Honor. McKnight’s is the preeminent national media outlet for the senior care profession and the Hall of Honor category celebrates female leaders who have made significant impact on their organization and the profession.

Kelsey will be recognized in May 2023 in Chicago at McKnight’s Women of Distinction Forum.

“This award is testimony of her passion and commitment to ensuring the highest level of care for our residents and extraordinary support for employees, while positioning the company for a strong and successful future,” ASC Chief Financial Officer Steve Van Camp said.

Currently in her seventh year at the Indiana-based senior healthcare company, Kelsey oversees more than 100 communities with nearly 10,000 employees. ASC emerged stronger under her leadership, adding new benefits and technology to support employees, achieving a CMS Quality score above state and national averages and attaining high levels of customer satisfaction.

A veteran leader in senior healthcare, Kelsey’s strengths lie in nurturing continuous operational improvement. Prior to joining ASC, she was president of the U.S. division of a Canadian long-term care company. She was also Executive Vice President of Operations for Kindred, and she is a 26-year veteran of the U.S. Naval Reserve, where she achieved the rank of Captain. Kelsey was honored as one Indiana Business Journal’s 2020 Women of Influence, and under her leadership, ASC was named Indy’s Top Workplace in 2020.

The 2023 McKnight’s Women of Distinction award initiative was judged by a national, independent panel of judges. Honorees will be celebrated Monday, May 22 during an awards presentation at the JW Marriott in Chicago.
