Einhorn – Hospice Liaison, VITAS Healthcare
With over 15 years of experience in
hospice care and 15 years in medical sales, I’ve dedicated my career to being a
compassionate bridge between patients, families, and the services that can
support them during life’s most challenging times. My passion for VITAS hospice
work is deeply personal.
I became
an advocate for VITAS after caring for my daughter, who was diagnosed with a
rare disease called Battens. She was on life support for seven years and passed
away at the age of 16—without ever receiving hospice care. We were never
offered it. We had no support, no one to talk to, and no guidance before or
after her passing. That experience left a lasting impact on not just me, but
our family and this is the reason I do what I do today.
No one
should have to go through such an experience alone. I am committed to making
sure that families know VITAS and it is available, and that they feel seen,
supported, and never forgotten. Everyone deserves the care, dignity, and
comfort that hospice can offer, especially when it matters most.
As the
nation’s leading hospice provider, VITAS has spent over four decades pioneering
patient-centered end-of-life care.
We collaborate
with hospitals, physicians and communities across the country to ensure that
patients receive expert, compassionate support wherever they call home.
At Vitas, we provide care, ensuring
presence, comfort, and continuity during life's most critical moments.
It’s more than a mission; It’s a promise; no family should ever feel forgotten,
unsupported, or overwhelmed when dignity, peace, and compassion are most
needed.
That’s
the heart of what I’m here to support in this community-to ensure that no one walks
this journey alone.
