We’re thrilled to share that last week, Chris Wright—iCare’s former CEO and now Chairman of the Board—was honored with the CAHCF Lifetime Achievement Award at the Connecticut Association of Health Care Facilities’ 96th Annual Membership Meeting held at Saybrook Point Resort on July 17, 2025.

With a long-term care career spanning nearly four decades, Chris’s impact has been nothing short of extraordinary. As owner-operator of iCare Health Network—12 skilled nursing facilities across CT, MA, and VT with 1,562 licensed beds—his commitment to quality care shines through our network’s multiple AHCA Silver and Bronze Quality Awards.

Chris has also been a tireless advocate for our industry:

● Two terms on the AHCA Board of Governors (including two as Secretary/Treasurer), now serving his second term as Vice Chair

● Three terms as CAHCF President, two as Immediate Past President, four as Vice Chairman—and continuing on the CAHCF Board of Directors

● Active participant in the AHCA Future Leaders Program and staunch supporter of the AHCA PAC—regularly lending his voice at the Connecticut State Capitol and on Capitol Hill

Please join us in congratulating Chris on this well-deserved recognition—and in thanking him for a lifetime of leadership, mentorship, and service that benefits every CAHCF and AHCA member!
