VITAS Healthcare

VITAS Healthcare If you or a loved one is facing a life-limiting illness, VITAS Healthcare can help. With VITAS you’re never alone.

We focus on you, not your disease, to ensure comfort and dignity near the end of life. VITAS provides you and your family with a team of hospice professionals—physician, nurse, hospice aide, social worker, chaplain, volunteer—to meet physical, emotional and spiritual needs. We care for you wherever you call home—a private residence, assisted living community or nursing home. If symptoms become severe, we have Intensive Comfort Care, shifts of 24-hour continuous care until symptoms are under control. For those symptoms that cannot be managed at home, VITAS also provides inpatient hospice beds and units in local hospitals. We’re available 24/7/365, with support available even on holidays and weekends. In the transition from hospital to home, from curative to palliative care, from chronic to end-stage disease, VITAS is with you every step of the way.

Some celebrations stay with you forever.💜

Our , FL team and volunteers had the joy of celebrating a very special milestone with our patient, Byong Moon, who turned 100 years old.🎂

We gathered at his home with his wife of 75 years. He sat in his favorite chair holding her hand, smiling and waving as we sang Happy Birthday again and again because he loved it so much.

We dressed him in a birthday sash and necklace and surprised him with a cake he could not wait to taste.

His joy filled the room and reminded all of us why these moments matter.

Happy 100th Birthday, Byong. Thank you for letting us be part of your beautiful celebration. 🎉

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a leader whose courage, compassion and belief in community continue to inspire a more just and caring world. 🌎

At , we see his legacy reflected in the everyday moments that define our care.

💜 - A nurse offering comfort during a difficult night.

💜 - A social worker advocating for a family’s needs.

💜 - A chaplain helping someone find peace.

These moments remind us that is powerful and that community is essential.

Dr. King taught us to lift one another up and to take action rooted in love. That belief guides our teams as they serve with empathy, stand beside families in vulnerable moments and advocate for care that honors every person’s dignity.

As we reflect on his life, we invite our community to carry his spirit forward through kindness, connection and meaningful service.
