Client Care ManagerI joined BrightStar Care in November 2022 and I have over 20 years of experience in customer service management. I started my background in Healthcare working for a Nationwide Healthcare Staffing Agency providing Radiological Services to Doctor’s Offices and Hospitals. From there I took my passion for helping people into a skilled nursing facility as the Rehab Office Coordinator.

Ed Fichtel
OwnerAfter 30 years working in various business and operational roles at several Fortune 500 companies, I decided to pursue a career in home health care. As my parents faced the challenges of growing health concerns and how to address their own care needs, I realized this was an area where I felt a strong desire to dedicate this next phase of my life. My wife Karen and I decided on BrightStar Care when we came to understand how well matched our values were and how BrightStar Care could allow us to build a great home health company in service to our community. I also enjoy serving others as a volunteer in various Christian based organizations. I feel blessed to provide this service to help others in need. -
Karen Fichtel
OwnerWith over 30 years in the dental field, I come to BrightStar Care with a goal of helping others by leveraging my exceptional people skills. One of my greatest takeaways from my Dental Hygiene experience is the ability to put others at ease when facing a difficult situation. Over the years, I have volunteered for hospice, Special Olympics, and my church. I have also become a strong advocate for both human and animal rights. Working at BrightStar Care is an extension of my caring nature and passion for helping others
