Dr. Shadi Gholizadeh Earns McKnight's Rising Star Award While Competing for Memory Care Innovation 
Recognition
We're thrilled to share that our very own Dr. Shadi Gholizadeh, Senior Vice President of Clinical 
Excellence and Quality, has been selected as a 2025 McKnight's Women of Distinction Rising Star. 
This prestigious recognition celebrates the incredible impact Shadi has made in transforming how we 
deliver home-based care at TheKey. Dr. Shadi's most significant achievement has been developing and 
implementing our proprietary dementia training program. Thanks to her leadership, we've equipped 
over 14,000 caregivers with specialized memory care skills across more than 100 markets nationwide. 
This represents a fundamental shift in caregiver preparation, moving us from basic training to 
comprehensive, evidence-based education specifically designed for home-based dementia care 
challenges.

Building on this recognition, Dr. Shadi has been nominated for the Home Health & Home Care Memory 
Care Innovation 2024 award. This nomination highlights her groundbreaking work that directly 
enhances our ability to serve clients. Dr. Shadi developed personalized care planning protocols that 
adapt to the progressive nature of memory disorders, ensuring our services evolve with each 
individual's changing needs. Her work on risk reduction through modifiable lifestyle interventions 
has shifted our approach from reactive treatment to proactive wellness strategies. The quality 
assurance measures she implemented have elevated clinical standards across our entire network, 
improving outcomes for thousands of individuals and families we serve. Congratulations, Dr. Shadi, 
on this well-deserved recognition!

How Our Sales Team Shifts Focus from Transactions to Relationships in Client Care
The Inside Sales team is launching "From Intake to Impact: Navigating the Care Journey," shifting 
from a traditional sales model to a care-focused approach. Team members are adopting new titles as 
compassionate care guides and receiving training through "The First Call That Changes Everything" 
curriculum. The incentive structure is being redesigned to measure client experience impact rather 
than just conversion metrics. These changes, rolling out through August, position client care 
conversations as the foundation of quality service. Read on to learn about their vision to transform 
client care.

DoorDash for Business Portal Now Available for Employees Using Brex Cards
DoorDash for Business is now available to selected employees as part of a new company initiative. 
This program allows teams to order meals through the DoorDash platform using existing Brex corporate 
credit cards. Selected employees will receive a welcome email from DoorDash this week containing 
account setup instructions. The email will include directions for linking your Brex corporate credit 
card to the DoorDash for Business Portal.

The portal functions as a straightforward ordering system for office meals. Orders are processed 
through the same Brex payment system currently used for other business expenses, ensuring 
consistency with existing expense management procedures. The DoorDash for Business Portal provides 
access to local restaurants and meal options. The platform is designed to integrate with current 
employee benefit structures and company policies. Orders placed through the portal will appear on 
standard Brex expense reports alongside other business transactions. We’re excited to partner with 
DoorDash to enhance the employee experience through this innovative meal benefit solution.

This mental strength training will teach you the same resilience skills. You'll learn three core 
practices of mentally strong people: how to think realistically by identifying and reframing 
negative thought patterns, how to acknowledge and process emotions productively rather than 
suppressing them, and how to maintain focus and productivity even when facing challenges or 
setbacks. By the end of this training, you'll have concrete tools to build mental resilience over 
time, helping you perform at your best both professionally and personally.
