Preserving Legacies for Hospice Providers
Our deep respect for the hospice sector allows us to facilitate transitions that preserve the dignity and quality of patient care while ensuring operational integrity. Through our people-first lens, we shepherd partnerships that uphold your profound responsibility of providing end-of-life support to patients and their families. You can expect Agenda Health to conduct itself with the same uncompromising commitment that’s helped us protect healthcare legacies for over 30 years.
Navigating Growth and Opportunity
With over 25 years of experience advising hospice owners, our team brings deep operational insight into the regulatory, clinical, and financial nuances of this highly specialized sector. We’ve guided founders through successful transactions and capital raises, helping them navigate everything from Medicare compliance to census stability and staffing models. As roughly 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 each day, a trend expected to continue for years, demand for hospice and end-of-life care is projected to grow steadily. This demographic shift, combined with strong investor interest, makes now an ideal time for owners to evaluate their strategic options. We’re here to ensure you’re informed, prepared, and supported at every step.
“Starting as a small hospice owner with a passion to grow, Agenda Health was instrumental in helping us identify acquisition opportunities and managing the process. Once we grew our company to over 600 patients in 7 states, Agenda found a buyer that allowed us to maximize our value and ensure that our family could retire comfortably. With over 10 years of experience working with their team, I can attest to their commitment to building long term relationships.” – Dr. Bobby Williams, Founder of Legacy Hospice

Chant Healthcare
Acquired by
Superior Health Holdings/Renovus Capital Partners
Featured, Home Health, Hospice
2026
Superior Health Holdings (“Superior”), a portfolio company of Renovus Capital Partners, today announced the acquisition of Chant Healthcare (“Chant”), a leading provider of home health, homecare, and hospice services headquartered in Southeastern Oklahoma operating through two core entities — Compassion Home Care, which provides home health and homecare services, and Sans Bois Hospice. The transaction marks Superior’s entry into Oklahoma with services in both home health and hospice, along with personal care services across 11 counties.
Chant’s management team, including CFO Derek Lane and COO Stephanie Blair-Bryant, will remain in place to continue to run Chant’s operations.
The acquisition expands Superior’s geographic reach and service mix, establishing an adjacent-state presence in Oklahoma with a platform well-positioned for further expansion toward Oklahoma City and Tulsa. Chant’s large base of dual-eligible Medicaid waiver patients creates a durable referral funnel into higher-acuity home health and hospice services.
“This acquisition is a natural next step for Superior,” said David Martin, CEO of Superior Health Holdings. “Chant gives us an immediate presence in Oklahoma — in home health, homecare, and hospice — and a management team that knows these communities deeply. The combination of our operating capabilities and Chant’s local relationships positions us to grow meaningfully and serve more patients across the region.”

PRAIRIE CAPITAL VI PARTNERS WITH MANAGEMENT OF LEGACY HOSPICE
Prairie Capital VI, LP partnered with CEO Clark Blair to recapitalize Legacy Hospice Holdings, Inc. (“Legacy” or the “Company”). Headquartered in Livingston, AL, Legacy is a leading provider of hospice services in rural, lower-cost settings with 70% of the Company’s care administered in the patient’s home. Legacy currently services more than 600 patients daily from 21 office locations throughout seven contiguous states in the Southeast.
Legacy is a premier provider in the rural hospice market. Over the last 17 years, the Company has built a platform of clinical excellence with strict adherence to compliance and dedication to delivering exceptional care to its patients and their families, evidenced by industry-leading quality and recommendation ratings. Legacy is strategically located in rural “hubs” to create regional density, maximize coverage area and service patients who may not otherwise have convenient access to healthcare facilities. The delivery of consistent, high-quality care across its footprint promotes strong brand awareness and builds clinical credibility within local communities, making Legacy a preferred provider in its markets.
Hospice care is a large and growing market in the U.S. It is expected to benefit from favorable underlying demand drivers and recession resistant characteristics, including accelerated growth in the aging population, higher acceptance and utilization of hospice among patients and their families, and continued support from regulatory bodies that view hospice as a high-quality, lower cost alternative to end-of-life care. As a result, hospice and palliative care services are expected to grow at 4.4% annually to $44.8 billion in 2022. Hospice utilization is growing faster in rural markets than urban environments and is particularly high in the Southeast. Despite significant consolidation, the industry remains fragmented with approximately 4,500 hospices and only 1% of providers having an average daily census of at least 500 patients. Over the next several years, increased regulatory requirements for quality metrics and transparent reporting is expected to create challenges for smaller hospices, providing opportunities for further consolidation.
Legacy’s current geographic footprint and track record of excellent clinical care position the Company to capitalize on these favorable market dynamics as well as growth prospects unique to its rural markets. In addition to executing on company-building investments in human capital, technology, and sales & marketing, Prairie will work with management to aggressively explore de novo site expansion and add-on acquisitions.

Insights from Those We’ve Served
Hear from those who have gone before you and learn how our unique approach has helped healthcare organizations like yours achieve their transition goals and sell their business.
Having spoken with several agencies before making our decision, the transparency of Agenda stood out. That made it real simple: if we were going to do business, we wanted to do business with a firm of that integrity. They were present at every meeting, and the prep and debrief conversations meant we always knew what to expect. As we got closer to the end of the deal, it was new terrain for me and I didn’t know how to navigate it, but Agenda did a great job helping us work through those difficult talking points. In the end, they came through with everything promised on the front end, and that exceeded expectations.
Initially, the process felt overwhelming since it was my first time selling a business, but Agenda Health helped ease my concerns and answered all my questions. Agenda filled in the gaps where I lacked understanding … in the end, Agenda made a very complicated process feel simple.”
The Agenda Team was patient and went at the pace that we needed to go, which was important for us. They also provided education on the various dynamics of the process, which we greatly appreciated. We were introduced to a variety of buyers, which opened our eyes to various possibilities and gave us a good idea of what we were looking for in an acquirer. We would highly recommend Agenda for the value they bring.”
My overall experience working with Agenda was very positive. The team was professional, supportive, and ultimately delivered a great outcome. The valuation they provided was very insightful and valuable in understanding my company’s position, and I really appreciated the constant communication throughout the process, which kept me informed at every stage. Overall, the guidance, insights, and consistent support were invaluable in reaching a successful outcome, and I’m pleased with the experience.”
Agenda really understands ABA – they understood the differences in my practice and others and had great knowledge of the ABA-specific M&A market. They were able to clearly express our mission and program to potential buyers and understood what made my business different. Everyone was aligned on my goals and worked hard to accomplish them.”
Working with Agenda Health was a first-class experience. As first-time sellers, their clear communication and steady support helped calm our nerves throughout the process. We hadn’t planned to sell until Agenda provided a valuation, but we never felt pressured in this process. After Agenda presented our valuation information and the pros and cons of selling, we felt equipped to make an informed decision and committed to partnering with Agenda to sell our business.”
Agenda Health’s deep understanding of the ABA space and knowledge of the market made all the difference in my transaction. They knew exactly how to position our business and connected us with the right partner quickly. Agenda’s expertise gave us confidence every step of the way, and the outcome exceeded my expectations.”
Agenda gave us peace of mind and ease in selling our business. It’s such a big decision and undertaking, and Agenda takes something that’s probably one of the biggest decisions that a company owner is going to make and makes it easy and smooth. I would highly recommend it to anybody that is in our same kind of situation.”
Initially, the process felt overwhelming since it was my first time selling a business, but Agenda Health helped ease my concerns and answered all my questions. Agenda filled in the gaps where I lacked understanding … in the end, Agenda made a very complicated process feel simple.”
I needed an M&A firm with the connections to assist me with small, targeted home health investment opportunities that I could grow. Not only did Agenda Health deliver on that need, but they also managed the sale of that large agency at its maximized value. This team is able to excel at both large and small levels in M&A.”
Starting as a small hospice owner with a passion to grow, Agenda Health was instrumental in helping us identify acquisition opportunities and managing the process. Once we grew our company to over 600 patients in 7 states, Agenda found a buyer that allowed us to maximize our value and ensure that our family could retire comfortably. With over 10 years of experience working with their team, I can attest to their commitment to building long term relationships.”
Our family-owned, hospice company was only a small part of our $40 million healthcare enterprise, but it was intertwined with our home health business. Agenda Health worked with us to structure that divestiture and find the right partner. I recommend them to owners looking for a trusted and skilled partner.”
