St. Gabriel's Hospice

What St. Gabriel's Hospice does

St. Gabriel's Hospice and Palliative Care is a privately held, for-profit hospice and palliative care provider headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas. Founded in 2012, the company delivers home-based end-of-life care and palliative support across 8 Texas service areas, including Austin, Dallas (North and South), Fort Worth, San Antonio, San Angelo, The Woodlands, and Weatherford. The firm employs 101-250 staff organized into multidisciplinary care teams that include RN Case Managers, Licensed Social Workers, Hospice Physicians, Medical Directors, Dieticians, Certified Nursing Aides, Chaplains, Bereavement Counselors, and Volunteers.

The company offers two core clinical products — hospice care and palliative care — supported by service modules covering registered nursing, social work, hospice physician availability (24/7), medical equipment provision (hospital beds, oxygen concentrators, wheelchairs, walkers, bedside commodes), medication management through an external pharmacy, bereavement counseling, spiritual/chaplain support, and volunteer services. Patient intake is facilitated through a HIPAA-compliant online referral form, healthcare provider referrals, and direct phone outreach via dedicated regional lines. The technology stack is operationally focused rather than differentiated: care plans are paper- and EMR-based, and there is no mobile app, public API, or proprietary platform described.

Revenue is derived primarily from the Medicare Hospice Benefit, supplemented by Medicaid and private insurance reimbursement per episodic care plan, with ancillary revenue from palliative medications and durable medical equipment. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by diagnosis, care plan, and payer mix. The go-to-market combines a sales-led referral approach (targeting hospitals, physicians, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities) with a community-led model leveraging local reputation since 2012. The company is privately and locally owned with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or public-ownership signals.
