Vanguard Group Inc. is a significant player in the hospice sector with a robust presence, operating 438 facilities with some level of ownership ranging from 5% to 50% as per the latest CMS data. It notably holds the most considerable number of its affiliates in the state of Texas, with 86 facilities, the highest of any state in the company’s portfolio.

The organization focuses on four primary sectors: home health, hospital, hospice and skilled nursing facility.

Top competitors in ownership within Texas include notable names such as Providence St. Joseph Health and Peacehealth, each vying for dominance. Vanguard’s unique ownership strategy remains unchallenged, with no full ownership of facilities but a strategic presence in the aforementioned states, highlighting its significant footprint in the healthcare facility domain.
