Aisha’s focus on communication, documentation, and family-centered care has been pivotal in fostering trust and improving patient outcomes across the continuum of care. “In my role as a Chronic Care Manager and telehealth nurse leader, I support patients with complex medical needs, helping them navigate chronic conditions, behavioral health challenges, and coordinated care systems,” Aisha said. “The empathy and advocacy I’ve learned through parenthood translate directly to my nursing practice: I see the person behind the diagnosis, the family behind the patient, and the story behind every chart.”

Before joining Lumina Care, Aisha gained extensive clinical experience at VCU Health, Maxim Healthcare Staffing, and Privia Health, where she provided direct patient care for individuals with complex medical needs–from ventilator and tracheostomy management to wound care and chronic disease education. Her experience across urgent and long-term care settings showcases her adaptability, attention to detail, and unwavering commitment to high-quality nursing standards.

In addition to her current role, Aisha continues to advance her education while working full-time, aiming to become a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) to merge her passion for mental health advocacy with clinical expertise. Furthermore, her journey into parenthood has reshaped her understanding of leadership–emphasizing the importance of listening, supporting others through uncertainty, and empowering individuals to thrive.

“My journey as both a parent and a nurse has shown me that healthcare is never just about protocols or procedures — it’s about people,” Aisha said. “Every patient I care for, every family I support, and every challenge I face is shaped by the same core truth my child has taught me: that healing begins with compassion, and that love, when combined with purpose, has the power to transform lives.”

Guided by principles of empathy, integrity, and lifelong learning, Aisha Starke exemplifies leadership in nursing, delivering care that is both compassionate and professional. Her work at Lumina Care is a testament to the transformative power of dedicated healthcare professionals in enhancing the lives of their patients and families.
