Celebrating our Behavioral Health professionals here at Maxim 💙

Jordan Fair, BCBA and Clinical Supervisor, has been recognized as Behavioral Region Team Member of the Year.

"In February 2021, I was fresh out of college and was unsure of what the next chapter of my life looked like. I had the desire to serve those around me and was eager to find an avenue to do so. For the past four years, Maxim Healthcare has given me the opportunity to provide high quality ABA services to our local community in Hampton Roads.

Today, I am so fortunate to call Maxim Healthcare home!"

Thanks for everything you do, Jordan! 💙🎊

For many of us, "home" is synonymous with comfort, family and a sense of belonging. But for veterans like Ricky, who served 13 honorable years in the U.S. Army as a mechanic, coming home was anything but simple. A devastating car accident left Ricky in a wheelchair, marking the beginning of a nearly seven-year battle to not just heal, but to reclaim his life and reunite with his family.

This is Ricky's story of resilience, advocacy and the life-changing impact of home care: https://www.maximhealthcare.com/healthcare-blog/helping-a-veteran-transition-to-at-home-care/

1. How long have you been a nurse?
"5 years, I graduated nursing school in 2020"
2. What is your favorite thing about working with our organization?
"Working with patients one-on-one, you really get to know and bond with them. Maxim is not an overbearing company to work for, they truly trust and respect their nurses. Plus, they are always just a phone call away if you need them and I really appreciate that. "
3. What is the most rewarding experience you’ve had while being a nurse?
"Helping others and feeling as if you have made a difference each day. I am humbled and amazed by my patients daily. As nurses we get the opportunity to teach our patients medical knowledge, but if you allow them they have so much to teach us in return. My time as a nurse has taught me to take nothing for granted, to enjoy the little things, and that a smile and kindness can make all the difference. "
4. What made you want to work in the healthcare field?
"Growing up I wasn’t sure what I wanted to be, but I remember some of my family members being in and out of the hospital. After seeing my ill family members experience the caring nature & knowledge of the healthcare professionals, I knew those examples had made a positive impression on me. There is nothing more human than being the light in someone else’s darkest hour."
5. What do you like to do in your free time?
"In my free time I like to read and write, cook and try new foods, grab coffee, and go to garage sales to repurpose my finds. I also love to go to concerts, hike with my dogs, camp, fish, garden, travel, and be with my family and friends."
6. What advice would you give someone wanting to be a nurse?
"There are so many different opportunities and paths you can take if you choose to be a nurse. If you are thinking about being a nurse my best advice would be to keep an open mind and be down to earth. It’s essential to have patience and never be judgmental. You never stop learning, not as a nurse or as a human-so be kind to yourself along the way too. Being a nurse can be challenging but the journey is so worth it! One person can’t change the world, but you can create a chain reaction with small acts of kindness. Those small gestures of kindness can have a huge impact on someone else’s life. "

Congratulations to our newest Caregiver of the Month, Darlene P! Darlene's compassion, dedication, and kindness make a difference every day. Not only does the family have nothing but wonderful things to say about her, but our Clinical Team raves about her as well! She goes above and beyond any chance she gets, which leads directly to positive strides with her patients care. No matter what it is, Darlene does it with a happy attitude and sweet words. Thank you so much for all you do Darlene, we can't wait to see what your future has in store!

1. How long have you been a nurse?
"42 years"
2. What is your favorite thing about working with our organization?
"How helpful everyone is. I was nervous to work with my first trach/vent patient and everyone encouraged me."
3. What is the most rewarding experience you’ve had while being a nurse?
"Building relationships with patients and families is the most rewarding part of my job, especially with the kids I have been caring for in their homes. Healthcare is just that; caring for patients so they can be/stay healthy."
4. What made you want to work in the healthcare field?
"I felt called to do so. As I got older and thought about a career, I was encouraged to look at nursing by a literal "couple" of nurses. I also had an Aunt who was a nurse, so I didn't want to do anything else."
5. What do you like to do in your free time?
"I like to spend time with my church family. We host the summer picnics and that's always a blast! I also like to crochet. Also, my husband sells used books so we do a lot of travelling around MO, OK, and AR looking for good bargains."
6. What advice would you give someone wanting to be a nurse?
"I don't think you can be a good nurse without compassion for people. Everyone is unique, special and deserving of the best care you can give. You need to be willing to sacrifice your needs for the needs of the patients many times. People put themselves in our hands, and that is a privilege you can't take lightly."
