Company Description
Enhabit, Inc. (NYSE: EHAB) operates as Enhabit Home Health & Hospice, a national provider of home health and hospice care in the United States. According to company disclosures and investor communications, Enhabit focuses on delivering patient care in the home setting through two reportable segments: Home Health and Hospice. The company’s team of clinicians supports patients and families where they are most comfortable, and its operations generate net service revenue from these care segments.
Enhabit’s common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol EHAB, as noted in its SEC filings. The company is based in Dallas, Texas, with its principal executive offices located in that city. Within its sector classification, Enhabit is described in financial data as part of the Manufacturing sector and the Dental Laboratories industry, while its own public communications consistently describe it as a home health and hospice care provider.
Business Segments and Services
Enhabit reports results through two primary segments:
- Home Health – This segment includes Medicare-certified home nursing services for adult patients in need of care. As described in company information, services in this segment include skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, medical social work, and home health aide services. The Home Health segment accounts for a majority of the company’s net service revenue.
- Hospice – This segment focuses on quality of life for patients experiencing a life-limiting illness. Care is directed toward the person and the symptoms of the disease rather than the disease itself. Enhabit’s hospice operations generate net service revenue from patient days and admissions, and the company reports metrics such as average daily census, patient days, and hospice admissions in its financial results.
Across both segments, Enhabit describes itself as working to expand what is possible for patient care in the home. The company states that it leverages advanced technology and what it characterizes as compassionate teams to deliver patient care. Operational metrics disclosed in its earnings materials include home health and hospice admissions, average daily census, visits, patient days, and segment-level Adjusted EBITDA.
Geographic Footprint and Scale
Enhabit describes itself as a national home health and hospice provider with a footprint across multiple U.S. states. In its public news releases, the company notes a nationwide presence spanning hundreds of home health and hospice locations across dozens of states. For example, Enhabit has reported a footprint that includes more than 200 home health locations and more than 100 hospice locations across 34 states, and subsequent releases reference similar levels of scale. These disclosures indicate that Enhabit serves a broad geographic area within the United States through a large network of local branches.

In its disclosures, Enhabit provides context for its use of non-GAAP financial measures and same-store comparisons, clarifying how these tools are used to evaluate performance. The company’s filings also detail shareholder voting outcomes on director elections, auditor ratification, executive compensation advisory votes, and equity plan approval, providing insight into its corporate governance framework.
