For the past ten years, Maxim Healthcare has recognized caregivers who embody our values and demonstrate excellence through our Caregiver of the Year program. The annual program rewards caregivers for their overall contribution and commitment to delivering quality care to their colleagues, and most of all, the patients and families they serve. We receive over 160 nominations from office leaders across the country each year for caregivers deserving this award.
We recently named the National award after Maxim Healthcare’s former Chief Medical Officer, John “Doc” Langley, in recognition of his significant contributions to improving the caregiver and patient experience. You can view all of our past winners and nominees below. We encourage you to read or watch their stories.
