"We are pleased to receive this recognition as evidence of Brookdale's commitment to diversity," said Baier. "Having a diverse boardroom creates a more collaborative working environment and it speaks volumes to employees and customers. It shows them our leadership is reflective of who they are." Over half of Brookdale's residents are women, about three-quarters of its associates are women and, according to a report in the November 2014 Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved, well over three-quarters of healthcare decisions are made by women.

Brookdale is one of the rare companies nationally to have gender parity among its board members, with four women and four men. Brookdale's stockholders elected Victoria L. Freed to the board in October 2019, as Clegg retired from her seat.

As a leading business magazine reporting on women's success and achievement, the WomenInc.'s Most Influential Corporate Directors issue is a comprehensive listing of women executives, influencers and achievers contributing leadership to corporate boards. WomenInc.'s winter issue is available nationwide as of December 20, 2019.
