Lifeway Mobility buys Center Span, Redispan & enters NYC market 

HARTFORD, Conn. – Lifeway Mobility has acquired Deer Park, N.Y.-based Center Span, a national provider of home safety and accessibility products serving veterans and people with limited mobility, and Redispan, a manufacturer of patented wheelchair ramps. With this acquisition, Lifeway initiates service to customers throughout the New York City metropolitan area and expands coverage to more than 35 states nationwide. “We’re proud to welcome the Center Span team into the Lifeway family,” said Paul Bergantino, CEO of Lifeway Mobility. “This acquisition is more than a strategic step forward — it’s a union rooted in a shared mission to serve the millions of Americans with physical and mobility limitations, including the veterans who have served our country. Together, we’re strengthening our commitment to veterans, deepening our culture of customer service, and expanding our capacity to reach more customers in need. The Lifeway and Center Span teams share values and commitment to integrity, excellence, and purpose, and we’re excited for what we’ll accomplish together.” In addition to Redispan, its proprietary line of wheelchair ramps, Center Span will continue to offer a variety of accessibility solutions to veterans through contracts with the Veterans Affairs health system in more than 22 states. Center Span’s experienced teams will continue in their current roles and Center Span’s Co-Founders, Kathie and Ed Finnegan, will join Lifeway’s leadership team. “Accessibility has always been more than a business for us — it’s a personal mission,” said Kathie and Ed Finnegan. “We’re incredibly proud of the established accessibility company we’ve built over the last 15 years and the innovative modular ramp system we developed to better serve veterans and others in need. Through our work with VA centers across the country, we’ve seen the positive impact of accessibility solutions in improving the lives of the customers we serve, and we’re excited to continue that mission and passion with Lifeway. The Center Span teams look forward to growing together with Lifeway, both nationally and throughout the NYC metro area, with the same, shared mission – to help people improve their independence, mobility and safety at home.” Center Span and Redispan will continue to operate under their current company names and to serve customers from their location in Deer Park.
