Expanded technology partnership elevates social wellness as a core pillar of resident well-being across 28 communities through data-driven insights and intervention

DENVER, Aug. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LifeLoop, the leading proactive engagement and whole-person wellness platform for senior living, today announced that Vetter Senior Living (Vetter) has expanded its partnership with the portfolio-wide launch of the Wellness Navigator, LifeLoop’s innovative new solution that provides a research-based framework to operationalize resident social wellness at scale. The solution is now available across 28 Vetter communities in Nebraska, Missouri, and Wyoming.

Senior living providers have long recognized the critical role life enrichment professionals play in resident quality of life, yet the impact of that work has historically been difficult to quantify. This lack of standardized measurement has limited the industry’s ability to evaluate and deliver social wellness with the same rigor applied to clinical and physical dimensions of resident health. Vetter’s implementation of the LifeLoop Wellness Navigator introduces a consistent method to translate resident engagement data into actionable insights, reflecting the organization’s broader strategy to elevate life enrichment as a core pillar of resident well-being.

“Cultivating purpose and connection is central to who we are and the experiences we create for our residents at Vetter Senior Living,” said Mark Iverson, chief operating officer at Vetter Senior Living. “LifeLoop’s Wellness Navigator enables us to now operationalize that belief across every community—it’s transformative for our organization, our community teams, and our residents. Our partnership with LifeLoop is helping us advance a model of senior living in which social wellness is intentionally supported as an essential element of overall resident health.”

Vetter has launched the Wellness Navigator portfolio-wide to standardize how communities measure and improve social well-being. The solution gives community staff greater visibility into residents at risk of loneliness or disengagement, empowering life enrichment professionals to intervene with personalized support before isolation impacts resident health and well-being. Using the solution’s wellness intelligence system—including the Social Engagement Index (SEI) and UCLA 3 Loneliness Scale as validated measurement frameworks—staff can confidently and consistently evaluate engagement trends over time, at both the resident and community levels.

“The potential impact of the Wellness Navigator for our life enrichment teams and residents cannot be overstated. In my 15 years in this field, we have never had an industry-standard framework to quantify how life enrichment positively impacts resident wellness,” said Courtney Schmitz, director of purposeful living at Vetter Senior Living. “With LifeLoop, we’re moving beyond program planning and activity tracking into data-driven, whole-person wellness.”

Vetter has leveraged LifeLoop solutions for resident engagement, community operations, and family connections for over 15 years. This expansion builds on Vetter’s longstanding commitment to creating community experiences that are centered in dignity and purpose for all residents.

“Vetter is demonstrating what it looks like to treat life enrichment as an essential component of resident well-being,” said Rob Fisher, chief executive officer at LifeLoop. “As senior living continues to evolve, recognizing that purpose and connection matter is important, but having the infrastructure to seamlessly understand, support, and improve them is paramount. Vetter is one of the organizations leading that shift, and we’re proud to partner with them to put that vision into practice for the staff, residents, and families they care for.”

ONTARIO, Calif., Aug. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ontario International Airport (ONT) has been awarded nearly $4.15 million from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to expand its clean-energy infrastructure, the airport’s third – and largest – federal Voluntary Airport Low Emissions (VALE) grant in as many years.

The $4,147,752 grant will cover 75% of the $5.53 million cost of installing electric ground support equipment (eGSE) charging infrastructure at Terminals 2 and 4. The project will support electric-powered equipment used to service aircraft on the ground, reducing reliance on conventional fuel-powered equipment and associated emissions.

“This latest investment by the FAA is a tremendous vote of confidence in the work we are doing to build a more sustainable Ontario International Airport,” said Atif Elkadi, chief executive officer of the Ontario International Airport Authority. “Three VALE grants in three years represents meaningful progress, and this latest award will allow us and our airline partners to continue reducing emissions while investing in the infrastructure ONT will need for the future.”

The VALE program helps commercial airports meet their air-quality responsibilities by funding eligible projects that reduce emissions. ONT’s latest award follows previous VALE grants supporting the airport’s ground power unit (GPU) and pre-conditioned air (PCAir) projects. These investments reduce the need for aircraft and ground equipment to burn fuel while parked at the terminal, supporting cleaner and more efficient airport operations.

The latest grant represents the federal government’s full 75% eligible share of the eGSE charger project. A competitive procurement process resulted in a successful bid significantly below the airport’s original project estimate, further reducing the local financial commitment required to complete the improvements.

“This is exactly the kind of strategic partnership that allows us to make significant infrastructure improvements while being responsible stewards of airport resources,” Elkadi said.

OTTAWA, ON, Aug. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Solace, the real-time data platform for the enterprise, today announced the appointment of Mike Capone, former CEO of Qlik, to its Board of Directors. Capone brings more than three decades of experience building and scaling global technology businesses with deep expertise in data, AI, and enterprise infrastructure software.

His appointment comes as enterprises increase investment in operationalizing AI, making real-time data infrastructure increasingly mission-critical. Solace sits at the center of this shift, enabling the world’s largest organizations to move trusted data continuously across applications, AI agents and cloud environments.

The appointment follows Solace and majority investor Bridge Growth Partners’ announcement in May 2026 of the successful closing of a single-asset continuation vehicle with US$790 million (C$1.1 billion) in commitments. The transaction was co-led by Apogem Capital, Golub Capital, HSBC Asset Management, and Schroders Capital, with meaningful participation from Bridge Growth Partners III, Bridge Growth’s latest flagship fund, which made its inaugural investment through the transaction.

Capone most recently served for more than eight years as CEO of Qlik, where he led the company through significant growth and transformation, expanding its capabilities across data integration, analytics and AI and strengthening its position as a strategic technology partner to some of the world’s largest enterprises. Capone currently serves on the boards of Dynatrace and Suvoda. Earlier in his career, he served as Chief Operating Officer of Medidata Solutions and held multiple senior leadership positions at ADP.

“Mike and I developed a strong relationship during his tenure as CEO of Qlik, and I have seen firsthand his rare combination of technology expertise, enterprise perspective, and operating leadership,” said Denis King, President and CEO of Solace. “His experience scaling a global technology business will be highly valuable as Solace enters its next phase of growth and as real-time data becomes increasingly critical to enterprise applications and AI agents.”

“I’m delighted to join Solace’s outstanding Board, which brings together some of the technology industry’s most accomplished leaders,” said Mike Capone. “I look forward to working closely with Denis, the management team, and my fellow Board members as we continue to build and scale a highly differentiated global technology business.”

“We are pleased to welcome Mike to the Solace Board,” said Tom Manley, Chairman of Solace and Partner of Bridge Growth Partners. “Mike has an exceptional track record of scaling technology companies and working with global enterprises at the center of major shifts in data and infrastructure.
