David L. Baiada is the CEO of BAYADA Home Health Care, a $1.5 billion global leader in home healthcare, with over 26,000 nurses, aides, therapists and other professionals serving clients in more than 345 locations in 22 states, Canada, Germany, India, Ireland, New Zealand, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. Mr. Baiada was appointed CEO in August 2017 when BAYADA’s founder, Mark Baiada, stepped into a new role as Chairman. That milestone was also the official launch of BAYADA’s transformation into a not-for-profit organization — putting mission over money — to help ensure the company will never be sold, and its mission, vision, beliefs, and values — codified in The BAYADA Way — will endure for generations to come.
Mr. Baiada is committed to a people-first philosophy, attracting and supporting purpose-driven and like-hearted individuals who share a passion for helping others and put the needs of their clients first. He believes a choice to pursue a health profession is a choice to help others, and home is the best place to tune into people’s needs and truly make a difference.
Since joining BAYADA in 2002, Mr. Baiada has worked in a variety of roles and learned the business from the ground-up. Taking on progressively increasing responsibilities, he most recently served as practice president for home health, hospice, pediatrics practices; led the Enterprise Quality teams responsible for policy development, regulatory support, and quality assurance/auditing; spearheaded the redesign of the quality improvement and standards framework for the entire enterprise; oversaw four strategic business acquisitions; and launched the Hospice Specialty Practice to provide high-quality, end-of-life services.
In May 2016, Mr. Baiada was named one of the 40 most influential professionals under age 40 in the Philadelphia region by the Philadelphia Business Journal. Mr. Baiada was also recognized as a Top CEO by Glassdoor in 2019. Most recently, Mr. Baiada was named an Entrepreneur of The Year® 2021 Greater Philadelphia Award winner by Ernst & Young and was ranked in the top 20 of the City & State Pennsylvania’s 2021 Healthcare Power 100 list.
Prior to joining BAYADA, Mr. Baiada worked as an analyst and associate at Diamond Management and Technology Partners in Chicago. He earned an MBA in Health Care Management from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and a BA in Economics from Cornell University.
A resident of Philadelphia, Mr. Baiada and his wife Mindy have two daughters, Gweneth (8) and Annabelle (7).
