In Loving Memory of Dr. Gregory Koch
August 10, 1961 - May 20, 2026
Dr. Greg Koch served as the Clinical Director of Services at BrainWorks and was a deeply respected clinician, mentor, colleague, and advocate for the patients and families entrusted to his care.
Throughout his career, Greg dedicated himself to helping individuals navigate the complex cognitive, emotional, and psychological effects of traumatic brain injury and trauma. His work reflected not only exceptional clinical expertise, but also extraordinary compassion. He approached every patient and family with patience, empathy, and genuine care, always striving to help people feel understood, supported, and hopeful during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.
Greg believed deeply in the power of multidisciplinary care and collaborative treatment. He worked closely alongside neuropsychologists, therapists, physicians, educators, and families to ensure that every patient received thoughtful, individualized support tailored to their unique strengths and challenges. His wisdom and steady presence helped shape the culture and mission of BrainWorks in profound ways.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, Greg will be remembered most for the kindness and humanity he brought into every interaction. He had a remarkable ability to connect with people, to listen without judgment, and to make others feel safe, valued, and cared for.
His impact on the lives of patients, families, colleagues, and the broader community will continue for years to come. The compassion, integrity, and dedication he modeled remain woven into the heart of BrainWorks and the work we do every day.
We will carry his memory with us always and honor his legacy through the care and support we continue to provide to others. He cared. And that made all the difference.
