Governor Ron DeSantis issued a proclamation declaring November 2024 as Hospice and Palliative Care Month in Florida!?????? The proclamation highlights the critical role care teams, volunteers, employees, and families play in meeting the complex and unique needs of seriously ill patients throughout the state. It also recognizes the efforts of hospice providers to improve quality and access to care, a longstanding legislative priority. We thank Governor DeSantis for his ongoing support and efforts to bring visibility to end-of-life care. #HospiceMonth #EndOfLifeCare #Florida #PalliativeCare #VITAS

As Air Force veteran Terry’s condition declined, his VITAS team knew it was time to connect with family to facilitate the last goodbyes. We quickly reached out to his brother to notify him of Terry’s status, and he was able to promptly fly in so they could share one final night together. It was an honor for our team to coordinate this meaningful moment. It’s times like these that remind us why we do what we do. At #VITAS, we put patients and families first. ?? #VeteranSalute #PatientStory #MiamiDade #HealthcareProfessionals
