VITAS Healthcare - Central Florida

VITAS has its roots in Florida, where in 1978 a Methodist minister and a registered nurse began talking about how people were being treated at the end of life. Today VITAS has hospice programs from Jacksonville at the Georgia border to Tavernier at the gateway to the Florida Keys. We bring hospice to your home, caring for patients and their families in houses, apartments, nursing homes and assisted living communities - wherever they call home. Our Intensive Comfort Care teams work in shifts if patients need continuous care to keep them out of hospitals and emergency rooms. When home care isn't enough, we offer round-the-clock care in homelike inpatient hospice unit settings that welcomes families and encourage visits.
