Stephanie Goetz, President: I received my bachelor’s degree in Sociology from SUNY Albany in 2005. I have been working with Compassionate Care and individuals with Traumatic Brain Injuries since 2008. I joined the company based off of my own personal interest in Traumatic Brain Injury after my sister sustained a severe life changing one in 2000 as a result of a MVA. Therefore, I have the unique perspective of understanding how it affects family members and caregivers as well. I am a NYS Certified Brain Injury Specialist and have dedicated my life to the agency that my mother created in pursuit of the best care the area has to offer. I want you to be confident your loved one is receiving the best care possible. I am honored to be a part of the company that always puts who really matters first – the person in need.

Joining an organization that embodies the philosophy of person centered services is important and Compassionate Care of Central New York continues to strive to enforce this with each life they provide quality care for.
