SantaFe HealthCare

SantaFe HealthCare

SantaFe HealthCare, Inc. was founded in 1987 as a community-based, not-for-profit corporation in Gainesville, Florida. The organization operates a defined-benefit pension plan for its retirees alongside a network of senior-living facilities and a hospice provider. Lawrence Schreiber leads the entity as President and CEO, while Glenda Hood chairs the board of directors. The pension plan's investment posture reflects its retiree obligation, with assets diversified across equities, fixed income, and alternatives. The parent company's active business lines include SantaFe Senior Living, which operates life-plan communities such as The Village at Gainesville, East Ridge at Cutler Bay, and The Terraces at Bonita Springs. Haven Hospice, another subsidiary, provides end-of-life care across multiple Florida locations. In 2024, BrightSpring Health Services acquired Haven Hospice from SantaFe HealthCare, shifting the portfolio's composition. Fortress Investment Group acquired The Village at Gainesville in 2025, and Sentara Healthcare acquired the AvMed health plan from SantaFe in 2022. Schreiber maintains board-level engagement with the Florida Chamber of Commerce and the Florida Chamber Foundation's 2030 Blueprint initiative. The organization's foundation arm includes SantaFe HealthCare Foundation and Haven Foundation, which operate as separate philanthropic entities. The pension fund, while modest in scale, carries the fiduciary burden of the retiree base from these divested operating units. The structural differentiator is the interlock between a still-operating health system parent, its pension plan, and its sustained real estate holdings. Most pension funds sit inside corporations that are either purely financial or fully operational; SantaFe HealthCare operates senior-living real estate directly — even after shedding its AvMed and hospice businesses — while the pension obligations from those legacy employees remain on its books.
