Our Staff at BrightStar Care^® Ponte Vedra / W. Jacksonville

Elizabeth and Chris Graham have officially launched a BrightStar Care franchise in Jacksonville, Elizabeth’s home since she was born, and Chris’s since 2000. The impetus of this effort was their personal experience caring for Elizabeth’s aunt. They quickly realized that not everyone receives the quality level of care they should, and the Graham’s wanted to change that. What began as a family responsibility soon evolved into a desire to bring a higher standard of care to others and veterans in their community.

Elizabeth and Chris Graham both had meaningful careers rooted in service. Elizabeth served in the military for six years as an Aviation Operator and spent 20 years in the finance industry as a financial planner. Chris, a Naval Reservist for 24 years and still active today, worked in healthcare administration with the VA. Elizabeth also made history as Florida’s first female high school football coach and even led a Jaguars youth NFL Flag Football team to the national championship. 

Their children are actively involved in the business, pursuing educational and career opportunities that complement operations. Their daughter is studying nursing while assisting with office operations, their oldest son is building his career in sales, and their youngest son is training as a nurse.

Amy started her nursing career at Shand's UF Hospital working on their Med Surg, Pediatric, and Chemo units, also assisting in the Emergency Room when staffing was needed. Her next role was with Baptist Rheumatology Infusion Center, serving patients with chronic Auto Immune Diseases for 13 years. There Amy supervised a 10-chair unit, where she administered biological infusions while working directly with patients & doctors to manage the treatment plan of care, maintain continuous patient education, and referral/insurance management. With 17 years of experience in several different areas of nursing, Amy brings a wealth of knowledge to serve our Home Health Community and their families, and is also a local native, born and raised in Baker County.
