About

VITAS Healthcare is the nation’s leading provider of end-of-life care. VITAS provides compassionate hospice care to patients with a life-limiting illness, and our palliative care team focuses on symptom management, pain relief and quality-of-life issues for patients facing chronic, complex or serious illnesses. 

VITAS Healthcare was founded in Florida and has delivered high-quality hospice care to Florida residents since 1978. The VITAS footprint covers almost 70% of the state’s population, with hospice services provided in 46 of Florida’s 67 counties that stretch from the Keys to Northern Florida to Pensacola. 

The name VITAS is derived from the Latin word “lives“ and symbolizes the VITAS mission: to preserve the quality of life for those who have a limited time to live.
