Cheri McEssy’s Story

“For me, BrightStar is the realization of a dream that I thought could never come true. Proud to be a nurse, I didn’t think that I could find a business opportunity that would let me utilize my professional skills and experience in a way that would also let me answer the entrepreneurial side of myself. BrightStar’s environment of support, strong corporate leadership, and commitment to quality has made joining this family the best decision of my professional life.

“I am committed to quality patient care and the development/promotion of a professional base of healthcare providers, as evidenced by the many clinical and professional roles that I have assumed throughout my 20-plus years as a pediatric critical care nurse. I am very proud to now be representing the BrightStar name, and I am confident that I can, and will, provide care that is efficient, professional and compassionate.”
