About
At VITAS Healthcare, we understand that navigating the end-of-life journey is among the most challenging experiences for patients and their families. Our mission since 1978 has been to provide compassionate care and support to those facing terminal illness. Our customers often find themselves overwhelmed by the complexities of healthcare decisions during such a sensitive time, which is why we offer comprehensive hospice, palliative, and end-of-life services. We provide 24/7 access to care, assuring families that they have experienced professionals at their side whenever they need assistance. As the nation’s leading provider of hospice care, VITAS empowers families through our interdisciplinary approach, ensuring that patients receive tailored care in every stage of their journey. With a dedicated team of over 12,000 professionals across 15 states and the District of Columbia, we facilitate access to quality care—whether in a patient’s home, hospital, or assisted living facility. Our commitment to excellence is demonstrated by our pioneering efforts to establish hospice standards, which not only enhance patient experiences but also drive forward the continued evolution of hospice care. We pride ourselves on being recognized as the first nationwide hospice provider to earn the American Heart Association® Palliative/Hospice Heart Failure certification, underscoring our dedication to providing the highest standard of care for patients with complex needs.
