History

Established in 2007.

There were tools available to ensure that people can stay at home and receive high quality care with a personal touch. Jim Palazzo has channeled those ideas into several businesses, beginning with the grand opening of the East Bank Center, a facility focusing on orthopedic, cardiac and neurological rehabilitation in August 2005. He also runs Transitions Hospice LLC (est. 2007 and incorporated in 2011), Transitions Home Medical Group, Advanced Therapy Solutions, and Advantage Medical Equipment LLC.

Meet the Business Owner

Jim P.

Business Owner

After 17 years of concentrating in long-​term and sub-​acute care, Jim created Transitions Hospice to expand on his foundational belief that people have the right to receive comprehensive and compassionate care at home. He felt the cookie cutter approach to hospice was inhumane. The focus should be on living, not dying, and it is the obligation of a hospice to be available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
