Hospice & Palliative Care

What Hospice & Palliative Care does

Hospice & Palliative Care, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit healthcare services organization founded in 1977 and headquartered at 4277 Middle Settlement Road, New Hartford, NY. It is the sole hospice provider serving Oneida, Herkimer, and Eastern Madison counties in New York State, delivering hospice care, palliative care, and 13-month bereavement support to terminally ill patients and their families across home, nursing home, hospital, assisted living, and residential settings. The portfolio spans four core programs: Hospice Care (end-of-life comfort and clinical support), A.I.M. Palliative Care (outpatient Advanced Illness Management delivered in patients' homes for chronic conditions such as CHF, COPD, cancer, ALS, MS, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's), Bereavement Care (13-month post-death support including groups and telephone outreach), and the Siegenthaler Center (a four-bed residential hospice opened in February 2005).

The technology underpinning the business is a traditional interdisciplinary care delivery model rather than a proprietary software platform: a team of physicians, nurses, home-care LPNs, social workers, spiritual care coordinators, bereavement counselors, and 200+ trained volunteers delivers care across multiple care settings. Patient acquisition is primarily referral-driven through physicians, hospital discharge planners, nursing homes, and a direct admissions line, with no formal sales force and reliance on community outreach events (Butterfly Release, Boilermaker Charity Bib fundraising) and website content for top-of-funnel engagement.

Revenue is generated from Medicare Hospice Benefits, Medicaid Hospice Benefits, and most private insurance plans, supplemented by charitable donations through a structured fundraising program. Pricing is effectively third-party-payer-based with no out-of-pocket cost to eligible patients regardless of ability to pay. The organization holds Hospice Honors Elite Status from HEALTHCAREfirst, is a We Honor Veterans partner with the National Hospice & Palliative Care Organization and Department of Veterans Affairs, and operates with 51-100 paid employees alongside its volunteer base. There is no identified parent company, private equity, or venture capital ownership.

Broad incumbents

• Encompass Health: Large home health and hospice operator (post-Enhabit spin-off history). Comparable in hospice service line and Medicare reimbursement exposure, though Encompass is materially larger and broader in scope.
• VITAS Healthcare (CHEMED Corporation): Largest hospice provider in the United States, operating across home, inpatient, and residential hospice settings. Comparable as a multi-state hospice incumbent offering the full continuum of end-of-life care, though at national scale rather than regional.
• BrightSpring Health Services: Diversified home and community-based health services platform including hospice, home health, and pharmacy. Comparable in hospice and palliative service mix, with additional adjacencies in pharmacy and behavioral health.
• Addus HomeCare: Provider of personal care, hospice, and home health services with a comparable mix of in-home and facility-based care delivery. Relevant peer for service-line breadth and Medicaid-funded home and community-based services.
• CenterWell Hospice (Humana): Senior-focused hospice and home health division of Humana serving Medicare Advantage and traditional Medicare populations. Comparable hospice service model with a pay-provider integration angle that distinguishes it from independent non-profits.
• Amedisys: Home health, hospice, and high-acuity care provider operating across the U.S. Overlaps with the subject company in hospice service delivery and home-based care models, with comparable Medicare-driven reimbursement dynamics.
• Gentiva: National hospice and home health operator with similar home-based and facility-based hospice delivery. Comparable service model and patient population, though Gentiva operates at significantly larger scale and includes personal care services.

Direct peers

• Interim HealthCare: Franchised home health, hospice, and personal care provider with local agency operating model similar to a regional non-profit hospice. Comparable in service mix (home hospice, palliative, personal care) and referral-driven GTM motion.
