Excelin Health is expanding its reach in the South with the acquisition of three Texas hospice providers and a Louisiana home health company. Excelin is part of the private equity firm Corinthian Capital Portfolio Company.

The acquisition of Lafayette, LA-based Grace home health will help Dallas-based Excelin expand its home health clinical platforms deeper into Louisiana. The acquisitions announced Thursday represent the fourth and fifth investments in the hospice and home health space and are part of Excelin’s consolidation strategy.

“We are incredibly excited about these expansion opportunities. We believe hospice is an integral component of our service model and look forward to the ability to support our Texas patients and referral sources,” Alicia Marr, Excelin’s chief executive officer, said. “The additional opportunity to expand our home health care delivery footprint into a contiguous state has also been a high priority for our team. Grace is a great fit for this expansion as their culture and philosophy regarding the excellent care of the patient mirrors that of Excelin’s.” 

Excelin has home health and hospice locations in Texas, Louisiana and California. New York-based Corinthian Capital Portfolio Company acquired Excelin in 2018.
