“First and foremost, integrity is very important to me — and it’s what attracted me to BrightStar Care. Our CEO Shelly Sun lives the core values every day, which is what I strive to do in my career and in my personal life. I teach my children to ‘do what you say you’re going to do’ and ‘be honest in all situations.’”

This supports our continuous drive to be the employer and brand of choice in home health.”
