President and CEO of Sunnyside Communities, Josh Lyons, was recently featured on the LeadingAge Virginia Voices in Leadership podcast.
In this episode, host Melissa Andrews, President and CEO of LeadingAge Virginia, sits down with Josh to reflect on his path into senior living. A journey shaped in part by his father’s tenure as Sunnyside’s CEO and one that sparked a lifelong commitment to serving older adults. Josh shares how that early exposure influenced his leadership philosophy, his passion for developing future leaders, and the culture of trust and collaboration that defines Sunnyside Communities.
The conversation also highlights the importance of partnership across local senior living organizations, as well as the role community engagement plays in strengthening support for older adults. Listeners also get a glimpse into Josh’s life outside of work, including stories about his family and the interests that help keep him grounded.
The episode closes with an optimistic look ahead at the future of senior living and the opportunities that lie ahead for mission driven organizations committed to care, connection, and community.
