Our loved one was transferred to the Main Campus ICU. From the moment he arrived, Maxwell stood out as an extraordinary caregiver who made a lasting impact during a very uncertain and emotional time. He consistently treated the patient with kindness, respect, and genuine compassion. He explained everything clearly and patiently, easing our anxiety and helping us feel safe and supported in one of the most difficult moments of our lives.

Thanks to Maxwell and the team, our loved one returned to his job and continues to improve daily.

Maxwell is much more than just an excellent caregiver; he is an unsung hero. He is a stellar colleague, friend, and advocate, all wrapped into one. He’s the kind of nurse who steps up when times are tough, always ready to lend a hand without being asked. His coworkers often commend his work ethic, his ability to stay constantly busy, and his quiet dedication to making sure the unit runs smoothly. Whether he’s restocking bedside carts, covering for a teammate, or ensuring others get their much-needed lunch breaks, he is always thinking ahead.

Maxwell is also an outstanding teacher and mentor. Those he orients speak highly of the valuable knowledge he shares and the calm, approachable way he teaches. His advocacy for his patients, his peers, and even for himself is inspiring, and he leads by example in every aspect of his work.

He is the kind of nurse every unit dreams of having: reliable, compassionate, hardworking, and always putting others first. He may not always be in the spotlight, but his impact is deeply felt by both patients and staff. He truly exemplifies what the DAISY Award stands for, and we are so grateful for the care he gave our loved one and the care he gives everyone around him every single day.
