Empath Health-Trustbridge Integration Creates Major Florida Hospice Network

According to a recent LinkedIn post from mPATH Health, Empath Health has completed the integration of Trustbridge into its statewide network, positioning the combined organization as Florida’s largest non-profit hospice network. The post notes that Trustbridge, with roots dating back to 1978 in Palm Beach and Broward counties, now operates under the Empath Trustbridge Hospice name.

The LinkedIn post highlights that the integrated entity connects 1,400 colleagues, 565 volunteers, and serves approximately 11,000 patients and families annually, with coverage extending to one in five hospice patients in Florida. The post suggests expanded access to specialized dementia care, grief services, and broader “Full Life Care” offerings for patients in Palm Beach and Broward counties.

For investors, the integration indicates potential scale advantages in a consolidating hospice and palliative care market, including operational efficiencies and a broader referral base. While mPATH Health’s specific financial relationship to Empath Health is not detailed in the post, the growth of a large non-profit network could influence competitive dynamics, reimbursement negotiations, and partnership opportunities across the Florida hospice ecosystem.

The post also references long-term legacy and community presence, which may strengthen brand recognition and patient trust in key regional markets. Over time, such positioning could support more stable patient volumes and enhance the value of technology, services, or partnerships that align with large integrated hospice providers, potentially benefiting companies connected to this network, including mPATH Health if commercially linked.
