Benefits and Perks
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.

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.
