The new Cape Coral location will serve as a hub for interdisciplinary teams, fostering stronger collaboration with local providers as the community’s need for hospice services continues to grow. This expansion reflects VITAS’ ongoing dedication to caring for patients wherever they call home.
As VITAS continues to grow in Southwest Florida, its focus remains the same: delivering exceptional, patient-centered end-of-life care with dignity, comfort, and support for every individual and family served.
