Inspire to Serve Home Care was founded by Cheryl Lee, RN, MSN, CMSRN, whose passion has always been caring for others. With more than 24 years of nursing experience, Cheryl has dedicated her career to supporting patients and families through many different stages of care.

Cheryl earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from The College of New Rochelle and her Master of Science in Nursing from Emory University School of Nursing.

For more than 14 years, Cheryl worked at the bedside as a medical surgical nurse at Montefiore Medical Center and Emory University Hospital. During that time, she cared for patients with a wide range of medical and surgical needs while also mentoring new nurses and nursing students. Her love for nursing education later led her to serve as an adjunct clinical instructor at Emory University School of Nursing, where she helped prepare future nurses for the profession. Cheryl later transitioned to the Atlanta VA Medical Center, where she had the honor of caring for our nation’s veterans. She served as a surgical clinic nurse and later as a surgical nurse case manager, supporting veterans and their families while helping them navigate their healthcare needs.

Throughout her career, Cheryl learned that exceptional care is about more than meeting physical or medical needs. It also means listening, advocating, educating families, coordinating care, and helping people make sense of what can sometimes feel like a complicated healthcare system.

Her commitment to home care became even more personal while helping care for her grandmother, whose wish was to remain at home. That experience gave Cheryl a deeper understanding of the challenges families can face when trying to care for someone they love. It also showed her just how much of a difference a dependable and compassionate caregiver can make.

A Nurse’s Perspective. A Caregiver’s Heart.

Cheryl’s nursing experience, case management background, work with veterans, love of education, and personal caregiving journey all helped shape the philosophy behind Inspire to Serve.

She understands that families often need more than someone to provide care in the home. They may also need someone who understands the healthcare system, recognizes the challenges that can come with complex medical conditions, listens to their concerns, and helps guide them when they are unsure of the next step.

Inspired by both her professional experience and her family’s caregiving journey, Cheryl founded Inspire to Serve to provide the kind of care, support, and guidance she would want for her own loved ones.

For Cheryl, nursing is more than a profession. It is a calling, and that calling continues to guide the heart of Inspire to Serve.
