Lexington Health Network

What Lexington Health Network does

St. Croix Hospice is a private, community-based hospice care provider delivering end-of-life services across ten Midwestern U.S. states (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Wisconsin), with corporate headquarters in Mendota Heights, Minnesota. The company's product surface is organized around in-home hospice delivery through local care teams that reside in the communities they serve. Its core services include dedicated patient services, family support, and bereavement support (provided for up to 13 months after a patient's death), complemented by eight branded specialty programs: BridgeCare™ for weekend-admission transition support; North Star Dementia Program™ for dementia-specific hospice care; Heart Failure Care Program (American Heart Association-certified); Age-Friendly Care Program (CHAP-certified under the John A. Hartford Foundation 4Ms framework); Navigate Falls Prevention Program®; Voyage Vigil Program® for end-of-life presence; Wound Care Specialty Program; and Lighthouse End-of-Life Planning Program®.

The underlying platform consists of local branch operations, a 24/7 clinical phone intake (855-278-2764), a structured healthcare-provider referral pathway, and a public-facing website with dedicated sections for patients, families, and clinicians. The company carries the CHAP Seal of Accreditation, AHA heart failure certification, CHAP Age-Friendly certification, and a fifth-consecutive-year National Quality Connections recognition; it was also named to Newsweek's America's Greatest Workplaces in Health Care 2026. No proprietary AI/ML, data flywheels, or technology integrations beyond standard web infrastructure are evidenced in the input.

The business model is reimbursement-based hospice services delivered in the patient's home or place of residence. Revenue is generated through Medicare (Hospice Benefit via Part A), Medicaid, and private insurance, with billing cadence aligned to multi-year healthcare payer relationships. The go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven: patients and families enter via provider/hospital referrals, direct outreach, or 24/7 phone intake. The primary end customer is the terminally ill patient (typically with a life expectancy of six months or less) and their family, with healthcare providers (PCPs, specialists, discharge planners) serving as the principal referral channel.
