Summary
Kindred Healthcare, Inc.
enterprise legacy
KINDREDHEALTHCARE belongs to Kindred Healthcare, Inc., the Louisville, Kentucky operator of long-term acute care hospitals. Since December 2021 the Kindred hospital business has sat inside ScionHealth, formed when LifePoint Health and Kindred combined their hospital portfolios; the Kindred Hospitals brand and this AS number survived the reorganisation. It announces four IPv4 prefixes, about 2,048 addresses, with one observed BGP neighbour.
What it's used for
A hospital operator's corporate edge. The address footprint is tiny relative to the size of the organisation, which is the norm for healthcare: clinical systems, imaging and EMR traffic live on private networks and VPNs, and the publicly routed space carries only the outward-facing slice.
Notable
The prefix registrants tell the network's procurement history rather than raising a flag. 199.231.192.0/23 registers directly to Kindred Healthcare, Inc.; 12.157.188.0/22 is a SWIP reassignment inside AT&T's legacy 12/8 (KINDRED-49-188, org Kindred); 216.248.24.0/24 is TELCOVE-LSVLKY-KINDRED — carrier-assigned space from the old TelCove network, named for Louisville, KY, and now registered to Kindred. Only 207.15.10.0/24 registers to a genuinely different org, Cogent Communications, and that is provider-assigned space from an upstream, not a third party leasing address blocks. Three of four prefixes carry Kindred's name in the registry.
Interesting
This is a textbook example of why the registrant column has to be read carefully. Four prefixes, three distinct carriers' naming conventions, and one block registered outright to a transit provider — the same surface pattern that a leased-address operation produces, arrived at here purely by buying connectivity from several carriers over three decades.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 448 networks and 1,851 prefixes, as published 2026-11-04. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
