Three Rivers Hospice

What Three Rivers Hospice does

Three Rivers Hospice, Inc. is a privately held, for-profit hospice care provider founded in 2004 and headquartered in Platte City, Missouri. The company delivers end-of-life healthcare services to patients diagnosed with terminal or life-limiting illnesses, as well as emotional and spiritual support to their families and caregivers. Services are organized around an interdisciplinary care team comprising specialized Hospice Nurses, Social Workers, Counselors, Volunteers, and Medical Directors, available 24/7 including weekends and holidays.

The company's service portfolio spans in-home nursing visits, home health aide visits, chaplain services, social worker services, volunteer support, counseling, caregiver and family support programs, and hospice services delivered within long-term care facilities. Three Rivers Hospice operates through 11 office locations across Missouri, covering markets in Platte City, St. Joseph, Cameron, Lee's Summit, Warrensburg, Mountain Grove, West Plains, Licking, Mount Vernon, Cassville, and Jefferson City — described as one of the largest hospice service areas in the state. No proprietary technology platform has been disclosed; care delivery relies on standard clinical hospice workflows.

The business model is a managed-services revenue structure reimbursed through Medicare, Medicaid, VA benefits, and most private insurance plans, with the company explicitly stating that hospice services are 100% covered with no out-of-pocket expenses for patients. Patient acquisition is driven by a sales-led, referral-based GTM motion: the company accepts referrals from primary care physicians, hospitals, and other healthcare providers, supplements with self-referrals generated through community education outreach, and operates long-term care facility partnerships that deliver supplemental hospice services to assisted living and skilled nursing residents.
