CCH Employees of the Year Announced

Tabitha Stanley, Social Worker, and Joe Mayhew, Maintenance, were chosen as Calais Community Hospital’s 2025 Employees of the Year! Joe is our non-clinical Employee of the Year and Tabitha is our clinical Employee of the Year.

CCH staff nominated their peers for these awards by completing a form and providing information and specific details on why they should be employee of the year. Factors considered are dependability, initiative, attitude, and teamwork. Here are excerpts from Tabitha and Joe’s nomination forms:

Since joining the CCH team in 2021, Tabitha has brought tremendous dedication, compassion, and invaluable resources to our staff, patients, and their families. She consistently gives her all, going above and beyond to assist families in finding appropriate placements for loved ones who can no longer be cared for at home. Her commitment extends beyond our walls, as she is always willing to step in and support the team at DECH whenever they are in need.

Tabitha’s generosity is not limited to patient care. She selflessly volunteers her free time to support numerous community events, including parades, the Festival of Trees, the Halloween event, and many others. Her enthusiasm, reliability, and willingness to help wherever she is needed make a meaningful impact both within the hospital and throughout the community.

Tabitha’s tireless dedication, compassionate spirit, and unwavering support for those around her make her an exceptional candidate for Employee of the Year.

Joe is a self-motivated and highly dependable employee who consistently prioritizes tasks effectively and ensures that all responsibilities are completed on time. He is always willing to lend a hand—whether within his own department or in other areas of the hospital—demonstrating a genuine commitment to supporting his coworkers and the organization as a whole.

Joe maintains a positive, upbeat attitude in every interaction. He never makes others feel like an inconvenience when they approach him for assistance or guidance. Even when he must momentarily delay a request, he does so with kindness, humor, and reassurance, leaving coworkers confident that he will follow through.

Joe’s dedication to teamwork is exemplified by his contributions to the Baileyville Clinic and numerous other collaborative efforts. When a task needs to be completed, he steps forward without hesitation, leads by example, and refuses to settle for “good enough.”

Joe embodies the qualities we seek in an Employee of the Year. CCH is truly fortunate to have him as part of the team, and his consistent excellence makes a meaningful impact on our organization every day.

The full list of nominees included Kristy Surles, Shelby Mealey, Blaine LeVasseur, Stephanie Hallet, Peyton McGuire, Tiana Lola, Miranda Czarnecki, Kathy LaPlant and Bonnie Sprague.

Congratulations to both of our winners and all our nominees. Thank you for the great jobs you do every day and the special way you care for our patients and your co-workers!
