Company founder Mark Baiada retires as president to focus on company’s unprecedented transition into a nonprofit organization

BAYADA Home Health Care appointed David Baiada as the company’s Chief Executive Officer, succeeding his father and company founder Mark Baiada, who will transition to the role of Chairman on his 70^th birthday today. Mark Baiada will celebrate the milestone by launching the process of gifting the company he established in 1975 into a newly created nonprofit organization. Believed to be the first transition of its kind in the home health care industry, this transition is designed to protect the company from sale and help to ensure that BAYADA’s mission, vision, values, and beliefs, codified as The BAYADA Way, will endure for generations to come.

BAYADA Practice President David Baiada delivered an inspiring commencement speech for Drexel University’s College of Nursing and Health Professions at The Mann Center for the Performing Arts in Philadelphia.

Drawing upon the wisdom he’s acquired through years of one-on-one conversations with clients on their couches and at their kitchen tables, he shared how the home is a powerful place to tune into people’s needs and truly make a difference.
