South Carolina Region World Class Award Winners Celebrated at October 25 Banquet

By Paul Saylor
President and Chief Operating Officer

(Columbia, SC, October 26) The Caris Healthcare Senior Leadership Team journeyed to South Carolina to join Caris employees there for an evening of celebration and fellowship at the annual Employee Appreciation and Awards Banquet. More than an evening of fun, the banquet is one way we show appreciation for the hard work, sense of urgency and commitment of the Caris South Carolina teams.
Caris Healthcare has seven offices in South Carolina and from those seven offices Caris covers the entire state. The banquet came at an opportune time—as parts of the state were still dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew. The storm, in fact, forced some Caris employees and Caris patients to evacuate their homes. But with help from their Caris South Carolina sister offices, the Caris offices near the coast safely evacuated all affected patients while maintaining operations and continuing to provide quality care.

The banquet also gives us the opportunity to recognize Caris Healthcare’s World Class Award winners. These Caris employees consistently go above and beyond their job description to live out our Caris values of Compassion, Accountability, Integrity, Respect and Service.

Please join me in thanking and congratulating the following South Carolina region World Class Award winners for their dedication and role model behavior:
