Acquisition and Growth Philosophy

American Hospice grows its organization organically, as well as through strategic acquisition efforts. As a part of that acquisition strategy, the Company typically focuses on developing large urban operations and discreet inpatient units, both of which require different, more concentrated resources in order to be successful. The Company targets high quality established providers of hospice with excellent management teams.

American Hospice's expansion focus is targeted in the mid-Atlantic section of the United States between Georgia and New England as well as in a few major southwest U.S. cities. Our acquisition strategy is geared to fill in geographic gaps in our current holdings. We focus on acquiring and building one or more major urban operations in a state and then developing the best expansion strategy on a market by market basis.

  • A continued ability to promote mission and commitment to the community in fully providing for the final stage of the health care continuum.

  • Development of hospice inpatient units in and/or around the campus similar to others we currently operate.
  • Co-branding of hospice services to provide seamless service offering.
