Crossroads Hospice Expands Focus in Ohio for Growth and Innovation

Crossroads Hospice & Palliative Care, a prominent provider of end-of-life care, is focusing on expanding its operations in Ohio after divesting five locations in other states. The company has four facilities in Ohio, specifically in Cleveland, Northeast Ohio, Cincinnati, and Dayton, and also operates two additional locations outside of Ohio, one in Philadelphia and another in Memphis. This strategic decision to sell locations in Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Georgia to Agape Care Group was made to streamline operations and enhance growth potential. The leadership at Crossroads, including CEO Perry Farmer and COO Clayton Farmer, expressed optimism about the future of the organization. They believe that reducing the number of locations will allow for a more concentrated effort on innovation and improving services in the markets they continue to serve. The company, which has been in operation for 29 years, is now positioned to leverage its resources more effectively. The sale of the five locations is part of a broader strategy to focus on areas where Crossroads has established a strong presence. By concentrating on fewer locations, the company aims to enhance its operational efficiency and improve the quality of care provided to patients and families. This shift reflects a growing trend in the healthcare industry towards specialization and targeted service delivery. As Crossroads moves forward, the leadership is committed to maximizing the potential of its remaining facilities. The enthusiasm surrounding this new direction indicates a proactive approach to meeting the evolving needs of patients and families in Ohio and beyond.
