Tell us a little bit about the history of Apex Healthcare Workforce (Apex HW) What should the general public and the healthcare community know?
Our founders, having been caregivers for several years, have a deep understanding of what it means to provide care for patients and how special the folks who provide healthcare are. We have been providing exceptional care to patients and seniors in various healthcare settings e.g. Long-term care facilities, Nursing homes, Assisted Living, hospitals as well as in private homes for several years. As an organization we strive to not only care of our patients, but also those who care for our patients. The way we see it, anyone who leaves home to go out and provide healthcare is a hero, bar none! They deserve our utmost respect and deepest gratitude.
