These are the fundamental principles that drive Xanitos.
The Heart of Healthcare
The Tennessee Project SEARCH program helps students with intellectual and developmental disabilities transition from high school into jobs. Katie Samples, who graduated with the Project SEARCH program, was helped by the Project SEARCH team to land a part-time job as an EVS team member of Xanitos at a partnered hospital in Knoxville, Tennessee. Katie interned with the hospital and was subsequently hired in November 2022 as a full time EVS Attendant. Katie is proud of her achievement, which has given her a sense of independence and purpose as part of the team helping to save lives. Katie has received attention from local Knoxville media and her teammates, who have supported and mentored Katie in her success. Katie is a member of the XRO teams, she helps take out the trash as part of the XRO system cleaning process.

Sleet or Hail, We Show Up
A ‘winter wonderland’ can turn deadly quickly. As January and February froze over, Arkansas was belted by sleet and freezing rain. Slick, icy roads, flailing power lines, and downed trees endangered traffic. Schools and day care were closed and parents, including the EVS staff at partnered hospital in Jonesboro, AR, were stranded with snow-heaped roads and closed child-care.
But this team knows how to cope with emergencies, and the staff showed up to work. By day 2 of the emergency, the EVS staff had 100% attendance. Zero call-offs from the 75 member staff! That continued for the next few days as other departments were stricken shorthanded.
EVS Michael Lucas cheers, “THAT’S TEAMWORK AT IT’S BEST!” Xanitos team was the only department with no call-offs.
Thank you team for exceeding the commitments, you came through!
