Maxim Healthcare Services Names National Caregiver of the Year

COLUMBIA, Md., Feb. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Maxim Healthcare Services, Inc., an established provider of home healthcare, medical staffing, and wellness services, announced today that Camille Sykes, a licensed vocational nurse at Maxim's Beaumont, Texas, office is Maxim's National Caregiver of the Year Award winner. Camille was honored by her colleagues and the Maxim leadership team during a special caregiver appreciation ceremony.

"Recognizing and honoring our caregivers is an important part of Maxim's culture," said Brad Bennett, Chief Executive Officer, during the award ceremony. "This night allows us to share in one of the most uplifting and mission-affirming events we have as a company. Together, we celebrate not only our best and brightest, but all Maxim caregivers who deliver outstanding quality patient care every day. They truly embody Maxim's Purpose Statement - Caring, Serving, Enriching Lives."

Since joining the Maxim family in 2007, Camille has worked with a variety of patients. In 2009, she began working with a 14-month-old pediatric patient with a ventilator and tracheostomy. Since then, Camille has dedicated herself to caring for this child. At five years old, her patient now attends school and no longer requires a ventilator, thanks in large part to the quality care that Camille provides.

Camille has become a trusted resource the patient's family can rely upon. In a special tribute video shown during the award ceremony, the patient's mother said, "It's been great working with Camille. I feel very comfortable and confident when [Camille] has my daughter. I know she's going to be completely taken care of." "I don't know what we would do without her. She's one of a kind," added the patient's father in praise of Camille.

"We are so honored to have the opportunity to pay tribute to our caregivers who are truly the heartbeat of Maxim," said Julie Judge, Chief Experience Officer. "Camille has worked with a warm heart and healing hands to positively impact the lives of this patient and her family. She is truly an inspiration and we are so grateful to have her in the Maxim family."

After receiving the national award, Camille stated, "This has been such a tremendous experience. I'm so honored that you picked me. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart."

Maxim's Caregiver of the Year Award program was established in 2011 and is designed to enhance the caregiver experience at Maxim and acknowledge and celebrate Maxim's nurses and aides for the outstanding work they do to deliver quality patient-centered care and service to millions of the world's most medically fragile and chronically ill patients.
