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. The divestiture of AvMed, Haven Hospice, and The Village at Gainesville — totaling three significant asset sales in three years — suggests a deliberate portfolio realignment. 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.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at SantaFe HealthCare?
Investment oversight is structured under the board of directors, chaired by Glenda Hood. Former Director and Investment Portfolio Manager Sandip Patel previously led portfolio decisions, according to public records. The current investment team composition is not publicly disclosed.
What is the relationship between SantaFe HealthCare and the pension fund?
The pension fund is a defined-benefit plan sponsored by SantaFe HealthCare, Inc., serving its retirees. The parent company is a not-for-profit that historically owned health-plan, hospice, and senior-living subsidiaries. As those operating businesses are divested, the pension plan's liability pool consists increasingly of legacy employees from entities SantaFe no longer owns.
Does SantaFe HealthCare still operate senior-living communities after the recent divestitures?
Yes. While The Village at Gainesville was sold to Fortress Investment Group in 2025, SantaFe Senior Living continues to operate East Ridge at Cutler Bay and The Terraces at Bonita Springs, both continuing-care retirement communities in Florida. These remaining communities represent a material real-asset footprint inside the parent organization.
How does the pension fund's size compare to its retiree obligations?
Altss estimates the pension fund holds roughly $100 million in assets. The funded status — how those assets compare to projected benefit obligations — is not publicly reported. The recent divestiture of operating units like AvMed and Haven Hospice may shift the ratio of active to retired participants, which affects the plan's liability profile.
What is Haven Hospice, and who owns it now?
Haven Hospice was a wholly owned subsidiary of SantaFe HealthCare providing end-of-life care at multiple centers across North Florida. In 2024, BrightSpring Health Services acquired Haven Hospice, removing it from SantaFe's operating portfolio while legacy pension liabilities for former Haven employees likely remained with the SantaFe plan.
