Inpatient Hospice Center

When hospice patients need care beyond what can be provided at home, the VITAS Hospice House is designed to provide necessary and appropriate care.

Patients receive 24/7 hands-on care from a team of VITAS clinical experts to bring symptoms under control. VITAS staff, from physicians to chaplains, take the time to talk to patients and families—and to listen.
