Steinbacher, Goodall & Yurchak, an elder law firm with seven locations throughout northeastern, north central and central Pennsylvania, has been named a Top 100 Organization by Pennsylvania Business Central in its annual list of Top 100 organizations. This list by the business publication recognizes leading organizations in their chosen fields, "bringing new ideas, technology and services to their counties and spheres of influence." Nominees from PA Business Central's 23-county readership are submitted and the Top 100 are selected by an editorial committee due to their positive impacts in the business community of Central Pennsylvania.

This marks the seventh consecutive year that Steinbacher, Goodall & Yurchak has been named in the Top 100 Organizations list. It has also been included on this list several other times in the past, including in 2017. This latest honor adds to a string of recent honors for the firm and several of its associates. Last year, SGY was named to the Best Law Firm® rankings by Best Lawyers in its annual Best Law Firm Rankings, an annual peer-to-peer rankings service, which marked the  second straight year that SGY was listed in these rankings. SGY was also named to U.S. News & World Report's "Best Law Firms" in Pennsylvania in 2018, and was awarded the Business Partnership of the Year by the PA Future Business Leaders of America in 2020. The firm was also named to Pennsylvania Business Central's Fifty to Follow Women-Owned Businesses (formerly called the Top 50 Woman Owned Businesses) last year for the fourth consecutive year, and the seventh time in the last nine years.Individually, last year, Attorneys Jenna Franks and Landon Hodges earned their Certified Elder Law Attorney certification (CELA), giving the firm three CELAs, which is the most of any firm in SGY's geographic footprint and the second-most of any law firm in Pennsylvania, which has just 65 CELAs throughout the entire state (as of June 2025). 

The 12th annual Dr. Alexander Nesbitt Commitment to Caring Award was presented to Traci Schultz, Executive Director of Wolf Run Village Senior Living Community! The award ceremony occurred during an in-person Healthcare Decisions Day event on hospice and end-of-life care.

Traci Schultz has lived an exemplary life of caring that has spanned throughout her entire career. She received a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Albright College and earned her Personal Care Home Administrator and Assisted Living Administrator licenses from Penn State University. Since 2010, Traci has been graciously serving the residents of Wolf Run Village Senior Living Community. She started as the Finance Director and within six months was quickly promoted to Executive Director.
