St. Gabriel's Hospice Partners with LifeCare Home Health

In a significant development for hospice care in Texas, St. Gabriel's Hospice & Palliative Care has officially joined the LifeCare Home Health (LCHH) family. This collaboration marks an important milestone in the ongoing expansion of LifeCare’s hospice services, following their recent acquisitions of two other hospice organizations, Fairmont Hospice in Houston and Valley Hospice of Nevada.

Founded in 2012 by Chris Cain, St. Gabriel's Hospice has made substantial contributions to end-of-life care throughout Texas. With a dedicated team of over 200 professionals, the organization has provided compassionate services to 300 patients across major cities, including Fort Worth, Dallas, Austin, and Houston. St. Gabriel's is recognized for its approach to care that transcends mere symptom management, focusing also on the emotional and spiritual needs of patients, along with support for their families during challenging times.

Chris Cain, who leads the hospice, has a wealth of experience in the long-term care and hospice industries, having established more than a dozen hospice agencies and various healthcare facilities throughout Texas. His robust expertise encompasses operations, finance, and regulatory management, enabling him to influence care delivery positively.

Cain expressed optimism about the merger, stating, "Joining LifeCare represents the next chapter for St. Gabriel's Hospice. Our sustained success has been rooted in our commitment to compassion, integrity, and quality care. LifeCare shares these principles and brings additional resources that will allow us to enhance the care we provide to patients and families across Texas."

Enhancements in Patient Care

With the integration into the LifeCare family, St. Gabriel's Hospice will benefit from advanced clinical programs and operational resources designed to strengthen service delivery and support staff development.
