Richmond, VA (December 22, 2025) – James River Home Health and Hospice (“James River” or the “Company”), a provider of home health and hospice care services, has formed a strategic partnership with Golden Rule Hospice (“Golden Rule”), a mission-driven provider focused on compassionate, patient-centered end-of-life care, with locations in Alpharetta and Atlanta, Georgia, serving patients across 18 counties in the greater Atlanta metropolitan area.

Together, these organizations bring complementary expertise and deep community roots to expand access to high-quality hospice care. James River brings its broad home health and hospice expertise, while Golden Rule — founded in 2015 and recognized as a Top Workplace in the Atlanta metropolitan area — contributes a holistic, locally rooted approach dedicated to meeting the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of patients and their families in the greater Atlanta area. This partnership aims to strengthen care delivery, expand geographic reach throughout Georgia and the Southeastern U.S., and improve patient and family outcomes by integrating best practices from both providers.

James River provides care to patients throughout Virginia. The Company has built a reputation for its high-quality clinical model, focus on complex patients, and experienced leadership team. Over the past several years, James River has invested meaningfully in its people and technology infrastructure to support continued expansion across Virginia and into neighboring states. The partnership with Golden Rule represents the next step in that growth — extending the Company’s geographic reach and strengthening its hospice platform through a proven, like-minded partner.

James River is actively building a family of local hospice brands across Georgia and the Southeastern U.S., partnering with purpose-driven providers who share a commitment to community-rooted, high-quality end-of-life care. Organizations interested in exploring a partnership are encouraged to reach out to Tim Boes ([email protected]) and Ellie Cullen ([email protected]).
