September 25, 2025
MIRAMAR, FL – VITAS Healthcare, the nation’s leading provider of end-of-life care, has been named a 2025 Top Workplace in Healthcare by Top Workplaces USA, a national program that honors organizations based solely on employee feedback. VITAS is one of only 57 healthcare organizations nationwide with more than 1,000 employees to receive this distinction.
The award reflects VITAS’ ongoing commitment to fostering a purpose-driven culture that supports its employees and enhances the quality of hospice and palliative care delivered to patients and families.
“This honor belongs to our employees,” said Ava Padmore-Lewis, senior vice president and chief human resources officer for VITAS. “Their compassion, dedication and purpose-driven work are what make VITAS a special place for patients, families and each other. I am proud of the culture they have created and the difference they make every day.”
Employee voices were central to the recognition, underscoring the organization’s longstanding commitment to its people and mission. VITAS team members were invited to share their experiences in a confidential survey earlier this year. Responses measured key drivers of engaged workplace cultures, including alignment, connection and purpose.
One anonymous employee stated, “I'm in love with the culture at VITAS. The mentality to help each other makes you feel like you're never alone. To be able to work with leaders who will listen to your concerns and help you work through those concerns is truly one of a kind.”
“I would recommend VITAS as a great place to work,” said another undisclosed employee. “The leaders genuinely care for their employees’ success and have created a supportive environment. They encourage a culture of kindness, respect and integrity, which our leadership best exemplifies.”
VITAS continues to invest in its workforce through career development programs, employee recognition platforms, and new technologies that enhance collaboration and productivity. In 2023, VITAS received a best-in-class award from the HRO Today Association for excellence in employee experience in healthcare.
Founded in 1978, VITAS today employs nearly 12,000 professionals across 15 states and the District of Columbia, delivering compassionate hospice and palliative care to 22,000 seriously ill patients each day.
