 VITAS is a company defined by the needs of the patients and families we serve. When we were founded in 1978, our first patient, Emmy Philhour, made this offer: “Help me stay at home, and I’ll teach you how to care for me.”
VITAS VISION
For more than 25 years VITAS has advocated for the rights of terminally ill patients and their families. The company believes that patients should be apprised of their clinical prognosis and be involved in the decision-making process that determines how their end-of-life care is provided.
WHY HOSPICE?
Nothing can compare to the feeling of accomplishment that VITAS' employees feel when they've made a difference in hospice patients' and families' lives. VITAS' employees are the first to tell you they chose a career in hospice for many reasons. For most, hospice is the one career field that allows healthcare professionals to truly partner with other professionals to provide patient-centered care. Hospice care makes a difference in the quality of life of patients and their loved ones.
Who is part of a VITAS Care Team?
To provide highly specialized, closely managed care for the terminally ill, VITAS relies on an interdisciplinary care team unique to this field of medicine. Team members led by a specially trained team manager, include:
• Nurses
• Physicians
• Home Health Aides
• Social Workers
• Chaplains
• Volunteers
• Admissions Nurses and Representatives
