Harris Williams Advises Agape Care Group on its Sale to Ridgemont Equity Partners

Harris Williams, a global investment bank specializing in M&A advisory services, announces it advised Agape Care Group (Agape Care), a portfolio company of The Vistria Group (Vistria), on its sale to Ridgemont Equity Partners (Ridgemont). Agape Care is a leader in hospice and palliative care in the Southeast. The transaction was led by James Clark, Taylor Will and Jonathan Ferrell of the Harris Williams Healthcare & Life Sciences (HCLS) Group.

“The quality of hospice and palliative care services Agape Care provides, its extensive coverage and density in South Carolina and Georgia, and its investments in best-in-class centralized systems that drive quality and compliance have enabled it to become a provider of choice in its markets. Investors continue to be highly interested in the sector given favorable macro industry trends that include an aging population, increased hospice utilization, patients’ preference to age in place and the cost advantage of care in the home relative to alternative settings,” said James Clark, a managing director at Harris Williams. “It was a pleasure working with the teams at Agape Care and Vistria on this transaction and we look forward to watching the company continue to thrive in partnership with Ridgemont.”

As a leader in hospice and palliative care, Agape Care proudly serves over 2,100 patients across South Carolina and Georgia. The company has around 1,000 employees who are committed to serving with love those touched by an advanced illness, providing comfort and support through compassionate care and meaningful experiences. Agape Care offers hospice and palliative services across multiple settings and is renowned for its superior patient-family experience and expertly trained professionals.
