Empassion Health

Empassion Health is a healthcare services company specializing in value-based palliative care management for patients with serious illnesses. The company operates as a Palliative Care Management Organization (PCMO), partnering with health plans and provider groups to improve quality of life and reduce unnecessary hospitalizations for high-risk populations. By integrating clinical support, social determinants of health, and advanced care planning, Empassion Health aims to bridge the gap between curative treatment and hospice care. Their model focuses on providing specialized care teams that coordinate with primary care physicians to manage complex symptoms and patient preferences. In late 2023, the company was acquired by Compassus to expand its home-based care and serious illness management capabilities.
