Cheryl Kerr, Founder and Managing Partner of Medex Health Services, shares how resilience, discipline, and personal sacrifice shaped her entrepreneurial journey.

After facing barriers to traditional financing, Cheryl relied on self-funding—refinancing her home multiple times to keep operations moving and support early expansion. What began as a necessity became a defining part of her story, revealing both the determination required to build independently and the risks of doing it alone.

As Medex grew, Cheryl navigated the realities of scaling a healthcare services company, from hiring and training teams to managing operations and maintaining financial stability. With the right banking relationship in place, she was able to secure the resources needed to expand across Ontario, strengthen her team, and continue delivering integrated care.

“I refinanced my house seven times to build this business. Each time was a risk, but I kept plugging on. I didn’t have time to stop or look for sympathy. I only had one goal: to succeed.”
