Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• VITAS Healthcare: Largest U.S. hospice operator (Chemed Corporation) providing routine home, continuous, inpatient, and respite hospice care. Directly comparable service portfolio and patient population to Hope, though operating at national scale with more sophisticated palliative-care programs.
• LHC Group (Optum): Large home health, hospice, and home-care provider, now part of Optum/UnitedHealth Group. Comparable in hospice service delivery, clinical staffing model, and reliance on Medicare hospice reimbursement, with substantially broader geographic coverage than Hope.
• Amedisys: Large multi-state home health and hospice operator with a hospice segment serving terminally ill patients across the Southeast. Comparable to Hope as a hospice provider serving patients in home and facility settings with Medicare-driven revenue, but at materially greater scale.

Regional players

• The Carpenter Health Network: Louisiana-headquartered network providing hospice, home health, and palliative care across the Gulf South. A close regional peer to Hope in patient population, payer mix, and Acadiana/Louisiana service territory.
• St. Joseph Hospice: Louisiana-based hospice provider serving the Gulf South with home-based hospice, bereavement, and veteran-recognition programs. Comparable regional peer to Hope in geography, patient population, and We Honor Veterans-style veteran programming.

Direct peers

• Compassus: National hospice, palliative care, and home-health provider operating across multiple states. Closely comparable to Hope in hospice service mix, interdisciplinary team model, bereavement programming, and multi-payer revenue streams.
• Heartland Hospice: Hospice provider within the ProMedica / HCR ManorCare family serving the Midwest, South, and other regions. Comparable as a community-based hospice offering all four levels of care, volunteer programs, and bereavement support to patients in home and facility settings.
• Gentiva: National hospice and home-health operator owned by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice. Directly comparable to Hope as a community-based hospice provider delivering all four levels of care, bereavement support, and veteran-centric programming across regional territories.

Emerging players

• Superior Health Holdings: Louisiana-based home health and hospice platform backed by Renovus Capital Partners that acquired Hope's Bayou-county locations and affiliate Hospice BC. Directly comparable regional hospice/home-health competitor now operating in the same Acadiana-adjacent geography.

Others

• National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO): National trade association that operates the We Honor Veterans program in which Hope is a Level 4 Partner. Listed as an ecosystem peer rather than a competitor; relevant because Hope's veteran-centric credentials are issued through this body.
