Provident Healthcare Partners (“Provident”), a leading healthcare investment banking firm, announced it has advised Crossroads Hospice & Palliative Care (“Crossroads”) on its partnership with Agape Care Group (“Agape”), a portfolio company of Ridgemont Equity Partners. Agape has acquired select Crossroads locations in Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, and Georgia. Crossroads will continue to independently operate in Tennessee, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.

Provident’s deal team was led by Managing Director Kevin Palamara and Vice President Jake Vesely.  King & Spalding served as legal counsel to Crossroads and Winston & Strawn served as legal counsel to Agape.

“We greatly appreciate Provident’s expertise and guidance throughout this process. Their team has been a pleasure to work with, and their support was essential in helping us find the ideal partner in Agape. Agape has shown a strong commitment to our employees and ensuring a smooth transition. Provident’s involvement was key to delivering a positive outcome and setting the foundation for a successful partnership,” commented Perry Farmer, CEO of Crossroads.

“We are grateful for the opportunity to have represented Crossroads in this significant transaction within the hospice sector. After evaluating several potential partners, it became clear that Agape Care Group was the best fit, aligning seamlessly with Crossroads’ values and strategic goals. This partnership enables Agape to expand its presence in the southeast while allowing Crossroads to focus on delivering exceptional care in Tennessee, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. We believe this partnership positions both organizations for long-term success. Congratulations to all involved,” commented Palamara and Vesely.
