6. Jaime Ortez, Branch Manager
“ When I started my career in healthcare over 10 years ago, I was
only 20 years old. Working for a large social service agency gave me
the opportunity to feel that I was truly making a difference in the
community, if indirectly. In the role as Branch Manager for BrightStar
of Irving, I am able to directly impact the lives of the families we serve
as well as the caregivers we employ.
I want to provide our clients and their families with the highest level
of service possible. This can be achieved through complete and
thorough screening of caregivers, listening and truly understanding
the needs of each individual client, and ensuring needed services are
provided on time and as directed.
”

7. Jaime Ortez, Branch Manager
“ When the opportunity to work with BrightStar became available, I
was so excited to make the transition back to home health. After
working in a physician’s office for more than three years, I was ready
to return to what I feel is my true calling. I love being able to help our
clients, no matter the age, but especially our elderly clients who are
often stuck in their home with no one to care for them. I like knowing
that the support and services we offer is a lifeline to those most in
need.
”
Sue Standish, Director Of Community Relations

8. Babs Mayerhafer, Director Of Nursing
“ I have been in the healthcare industry for 30 years and have
seen and experienced the many changes that have occurred. As a
nurse, nothing is more important than providing the care and the
services that our community deserves.
This position gives me the opportunity to serve our clients in the
comfort of their own environments, and I want to make a difference
by ensuring excellent care and a positive experience for all of our
”
clients and their families.
