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.
