About VITAS Healthcare

Sourced by ZipRecruiter

VITAS Healthcare, located in Miami, FL, US, is a pioneer in the American healthcare industry, specifically within the realm of hospice care and palliative services. The company began its operations in 1978 under the visionaries Hugh Westbrook and Esther Colliflower,both social workers, who identified the need for compassionate end-of-life care. Recognizing the dire need to fill the void in hospice care, they established VITAS Healthcare with the mission to provide patients experiencing end-of-life stages with high-quality care, demonstrating respect for every individual's decisions and maintaining a supportive environment for both the patients and their loved ones. A noteworthy achievement of VITAS is that it was the first organization to have its hospice program licensed in Florida prompting a nationwide shift in the way end-of-life care services were handled.
