VITAS Healthcare serves people with serious illnesses. Our hospice care and palliative services provide comfort to patients and preserve dignity in the face of terminal illness. Hospice CareWhen medical treatments can no longer cure a disease, our interdisciplinary team of hospice care professionals still can do a great deal to control pain, reduce anxiety and offer needed spiritual and emotional support to patients and their families. We introduce gradual, non-crisis transitions from curative care to hospice care. There is time to talk, to try treatments and therapies, and to ensure comfort and dignity.
