use your compassion, communication skills and deep expertise to
build meaningful relationships with patients and families,
providing the highest-quality care at the most challenging point in

plans centered around the patient’s wishes, needs, and beliefs.
With your strong sense of commitment, you will advocate for your
patients, discussing goals for their care while addressing their
hopes and fears. You will live the hospice mission, seeking
teachable moments everywhere, and educate patients, caregivers, and
the communities you serve on the benefits of compassionate,
dignified end-of-life care. WHERE YOU’LL WORK Each day is
different. You will spend most of your time caring for hospice
patients and families wherever they call home, whether that means a
private residence or an assisted living/skilled nursing facility.
Once a week, you’ll visit your local program office to discuss
cases with members of your interdisciplinary team, including social
workers, chaplains, and nurses. All of these roles collaborate to
provide holistic support for the patients and families we serve.

interpersonal skills. You should be in good standing on the medical
staff of an accredited hospital and have a working knowledge of
oncology and the principles of palliative medicine. In addition to
being board certified and registered with the DEA, you’ll have the
traits that make the VITAS Difference: Commitment, Compassion, and
a Can-do Attitude. You will keep patient welfare at the center of
everything you do, giving your best each day in service of our core
commitment: Extending comfort and dignity to all people at the end
of their life’s journey. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS TO CANDIDATE EOE/AA
