New Private Equity-Backed Hospice Chain Starts Acquisition Spree
A private equity-funded hospice launched in Dallas has made three new acquisitions. Three Oaks Hospice acquired locations spanning Dallas, Fort Worth, and San Antonio from Total Hospice & Palliative Care, ABS Palliative and Hospice Care, and Fellowship Hospice, the company says in a release. Three Oaks Hospice has received more than $21 million in private equity from Granite Growth Health Partners, Health Velocity Capital, and Petra Capital Partners, says the company that was founded in May. And it looks as if it will use some of that funding for an aggressive acquisition plan. Three Oaks has “an active pipeline of five potential deals throughout Texas and into bordering states,” CEO Andrea Bohannon says in the release. “I want us to complete the footprint in Texas as soon as possible. Then, we will begin the build out to other strategic underserved hospice markets outside of Texas.”
