Meet Steve Vogel

May 26, 2021
Steve grew up in Colorado Springs. His Father was a career Air Force Officer and Fighter Pilot. Steve’s two sisters and Mother also live here in Colorado Springs. After graduating Air Academy High School, Steve earned a BA Degree from the University of Colorado in Boulder.
 
After college, Steve spent 30 years in business. Working in logistics, supply chain and information technology, leading teams in business development, general management, operations, and sales. In recent years, some of Steve’s immediate family and close friends experienced health related issues that became life changing events. Families had to change the way they lived to care for their loved ones and accommodate the effected family member and provide the necessary care and resources.
 
Steve saw this as a calling. Helping people and families care for loved ones, relieve stress, and improve their quality of life by providing a higher standard of companion and health care services in their home. Families need empathy and support to successfully manage and cope through these life altering events. Steve feels humbled and privileged to provide these services to the greater Colorado Springs communities.    
 
 
How did you learn of BrightStar Care? Why did you decide to purchase the franchise and why BrightStar instead of another healthcare franchise?
 
The healthcare industry is large and diverse. I decided early on a start-up is too daunting, I will need help, so a franchise made sense. After some research and diligence, I narrowed the list down to 4 home healthcare franchises that were highly rated by multiple rating systems. BrightStar Care was at the top of this list. Then I discovered the BrightStar Care of Colorado Springs franchise was for sale. It felt like fate or destiny. I grew up in Colorado Springs. This was an opportunity to return home, launch my dream business and provide a positive impact on the community. All with the support of a top rated franchise Like BrightStar Care. I could not be more excited!
