About Company:

Choice was founded in 2007 by David Jackson, a licensed physical therapist. At the heart of his decision to start the business was his grandfather's struggle with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's Disease) during his childhood. He was, and continues to be, forever grateful to the nurses, therapists, aides, and other healthcare providers who touched his family during that time. Every deed, every step, and every moment was cherished and appreciated. Our goal at Choice is to provide healthcare that enables our patients and their families. We hope that our deeds and care can enhance your steps, moments, and experiences with your family.

Our Mission at Choice is to enhance the lives of every patient we serve by delivering excellent healthcare. We've worked diligently to shape the company's culture by how we lead and work daily. As leaders, employees, clinicians, and support staff, we strive to apply the Pillars of Choice every day.
