History
In 1994, Gary Polsky took his personal savings and founded Dignita
Hospice Care in Phoenix, Arizona. Dignita expanded into the Tucson, Arizona
market in 1996 and San Diego, California market in 1998. To solidify Dignita
Hospice Care, Mr. Polsky envisioned hospice controlled inpatient units. In
1998, Gary founded Hospice Properties I, LLC to build the Dignita Hospice Care
Mesa Inpatient Unit. Shortly thereafter, Hospice Properties II, LLC and Hospice
Properties III, LLC were commissioned to build two additional inpatient units in
Peoria, Arizona and Tucson, Arizona. In November 1999 with a solid reputation
and an overall census of 346, Dignita Hospice Care was sold in an asset purchase
to Odyssey Healthcare. For the three markets served by Dignita Hospice Care, a
four year non-compete agreement was signed as part of the purchase.
After the sale, Gary found that his passion for hospice could not
be squelched. In February 2002, Mr. Polsky founded Solari Hospice Care.
Medicare certification was achieved in July 2002 for the first location in Las
Vegas, Nevada serving Clark County. Solari’s attention turned to Houston,
Texas. This location, serving the greater Houston metropolitan area, became
Medicare certified in November 2004. The newest location Phoenix became
certified November 2006, 2 months prior to the anticipated date. Concurrently,
Solari recently completed building its first hospice inpatient unit in Las
Vegas, Nevada which became Medicare certified August 2008 with zero
deficiencies.
Solari Hospice Care maintains its Corporate Office in Scottsdale,
Arizona. This office centralizes the general business functions as well as the
overall management of the company.
