Jet Health Inc, a regional provider of home health services, has acquired First Choice Home Health and Hospice, a Boise, Idaho-based home health and hospice company, for an undisclosed sum. The acquisition marks Jet Health’s foray into the hospice arena.
“This transaction with First Choice is strategic and significant for Jet Health in that it signals our entry into the hospice market and extends our home health offering into Idaho, one of the fastest-growing marketplaces in the U.S. today. Adding hospice to the equation rounds out our portfolio of services and benefits both our referral sources and home health patients alike,” says Jim Glynn, founder and CEO of Irvine, Calif-based Jet Health, in a media release.
“We have been looking for the right provider partner with whom to align – one with a similar culture and common mission that would help expand our service offering throughout Idaho as well as across other key markets. We found that partner in Jet Health,” according to a combined statement from First Choice founders Catherine Jerrems, Pat Toshcoff, Celeste Spencer and Kara Craig.
“Our business will complement that of Jet Health’s as integrating the two entities will prove beneficial to our new combined patient base,” they add.
Jerrems, Toshcoff, and Craig will remain with the company while Spencer will retire upon close of the transaction, per the release.
