What PACS does
PACS Group, Inc. (NYSE: PACS) is a publicly traded holding company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah. The company invests in and operates 324 post-acute care, skilled nursing, and senior living facilities across 17 U.S. states, employing more than 46,000 professionals and serving over 30,000 patients and residents daily. Co-founded by Jason Murray (CEO and Chairman) and Mark Hancock (Executive Vice Chairman), PACS has grown from two facilities in San Diego to one of the three largest skilled nursing operators in the United States through a combination of facility acquisitions, de novo development, and operational turnarounds of underperforming assets.
PACS operates through three integrated components: (1) post-acute care services providing skilled nursing, rehabilitation, long-term care, and memory care; (2) senior living communities offering assisted living, independent living, and memory care; and (3) PACS Services, a centralized back-office platform delivering legal, financial, HR, technology, compliance, and clinical support to affiliated facilities. The company has invested approximately $100 million in a cloud-based technology platform featuring a universal Electronic Health Record (EHR) system integrated with AI tools for clinical analytics, documentation, and operational optimization. This infrastructure supports standardized, repeatable processes that enable PACS to consistently improve facility performance, evidenced by 94.9% mature facility occupancy (compared to a 78.7% industry average) and 73.4% of skilled nursing facilities earning 4- or 5-star CMS quality ratings.
The company's revenue model combines direct facility operations (patient and resident service revenue from Medicare, Medicaid, and private payers) with management fees from affiliated operators under the PACS Services model. PACS completed its initial public offering in April 2024 and an upsized secondary public offering in September 2024, generating approximately $101 million in proceeds for the company and $589 million for selling stockholders. The growth strategy centers on acquiring roughly five underperforming facilities per quarter, expanding into new geographic markets (most recently Tennessee, Alaska, and Idaho), and continuing investment in technology, leadership development (including the AIT program), and operational infrastructure.
