Twelve-year-old Maxim Healthcare Services patient Ava is living proof of the saying, "There's no place like home." After being sent home for hospice care, and thanks to the care of her collaborative healthcare team of physicians, in-home nurses and family, Ava's health saw a remarkable improvement over the course of the past year.

Our story began at the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Erlanger Hospital in Tennessee where Ava was being treated for pneumonia and respiratory failure. Her mother, Megan, crossed paths with Taylor, a Maxim nurse who would later become an integral part of Ava's care team. Their meeting marked the beginning of a life-changing partnership.

At their first meeting, Taylor told Megan all about Maxim and how our team of dedicated and passionate nurses could help Ava with in-home care. This short conversation moved Megan and piqued her interest in inquiring about in-home care for her daughter.

Ava's full story is now live on our blog: https://www.maximhealthcare.com/healthcare-blog/the-power-of-pediatric-home-healthcare-avas-story/

In 1987, President Reagan recognized March as Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. This initiative aimed to raise public awareness about the needs and potential of Americans with developmental disabilities. It also sought to provide encouragement and create opportunities to help individuals reach their full potential.

At Maxim Healthcare, many of the patients we help care for have developmental delays and challenges that can complicate daily life. Thanks to the support of our caregivers, we have witnessed numerous individuals grow and thrive, and we are grateful to be a part of their lives.

This Black History Month, we're sharing Chamberlain University's Notable Black Nurses in History article to celebrate trailblazers in our industry.

Here's one example: Mary Eliza Mahoney, the first Black woman to earn a professional nursing license in the U.S.

From their 2022 article: "While many African Americans served as nurses before her, Mary Ezra Mahoney often carries the distinction of being the first Black nurse in history to earn a professional nursing license in the U.S. and the first to graduate from an American nursing school. Born to freed slaves, she worked as janitor, cook, washerwoman and nurse's aide over the course of 15 years at the New England Hospital for Women and Children, according to the National Women's History Museum. At the age of 33, she entered the hospital's nursing program and graduated 16 months later. As the first professionally trained and licensed Black nurse, she championed increased access to nursing education and fought against discrimination in the profession throughout her career, supporting the creation of the National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses (NACGN) in 1908."
