PHOENIX—Healthcare Real Estate Insights revealed the winners of the 2015 HREI Insights Awards, the only national awards totally dedicated to recognizing excellence in the areas of healthcare real estate development and executive leadership. The 2015 awards were presented in nine different categories during the RealShare Healthcare Real Estate conference Thursday in Scottsdale, AZ.

The awards were presented by HREI publisher Murray Wolf, who said the awards program was introduced in 2013.

"As the healthcare real estate sector has grown and matured, the lack of a comprehensive national awards program seemed like a more glaring omission every year," says Wolf. "There are awards recognizing design and other aspects of healthcare facilities but until we introduced the awards program two years ago, there were no awards focusing on the real estate strategies and stories behind successful projects. The HREI awards program fills that gap."

The Platinum Sponsor of the awards is GE Capital, Healthcare Financial Services, which also was the Platinum Sponsor the previous two years. Gold sponsors include Winstead, Welltower (formerly Health Care REIT), Duke Realty, Caddis, HFF and ALM RealShare. Silver sponsors include Griffin-American Healthcare REIT III, Rendina Healthcare Real Estate, MedProperties Holdings, HealthAmerica Realty Group, NexCore Group, Lillbridge and Pacific Medical Buildings.

The 2015 lifetime achievement award was given to James O. Meadows of Meadows & Ohly, who said in his acceptance speech that "Character is important, integrity matters."
