BrightSpring Health Services, Inc.

BrightSpring Health Services, Inc. is a U.S.-based home and community health services company that combines pharmacy operations with provider services for medically complex and high-need patients. Its platform is built around delivering care in lower-cost, patient-preferred settings such as homes, senior living communities, skilled nursing facilities, and other community-based environments. The company serves a broad referral network that includes physicians, hospitals, health plans, discharge planners, and social service organizations. In 2025, BrightSpring announced the divestiture of its Community Living business to sharpen its focus on home health, rehab, primary care, and hospice. That shift is intended to simplify the portfolio and increase clinical integration across its remaining businesses.
