Bayada Nurses Named One of the 25 Fastest-Growing Companies in South Jersey

Moorestown, NJ - Bayada Nurses-a national home care company headquartered in Moorestown, NJ-was recently named one of the "25 Fastest-Growing Privately-Held Companies in South Jersey" by the Philadelphia Business Journal and Rowan University.

Only privately held companies based in South Jersey that sustained sales growth over a three-year period were considered for the honor. Rowan University researchers, who developed the list in order to "take the temperature of the business climate in South Jersey," found several common elements that were central to the success of all 25 companies-ethics, teamwork, people, process, and products/services.

"We are thrilled to be recognized as one of the 25 fastest-growing South Jersey companies," said Mark Baiada, founder and president of Bayada Nurses. "This honor is a testimony to our company values and the hard work of our employees. We have always dedicated ourselves to providing skilled, caring and reliable service, and I think this award demonstrates that we have been successful."

Bayada's achievement is even more remarkable considering the fact that health-care organizations are facing one of the most severe nursing shortages in history. The key to Bayada's success in the face of such an obstacle has been proactive recruitment and retention efforts-including innovative training programs and marketing pieces that emphasize the benefits of home care.

Founded in 1975, Bayada Nurses is an independently owned home health care agency that employs more than 5,000 nurses, home health aides, and therapists working from more than 60 offices in 11 states.
