What would a VITAS medical director tell you? Here’s Monique Williams, MD, MSCI:

Hospice is rewarding because you spend impactful time with patients and their families. I can’t think of many specialties that allow that kind of involvement and time commitment for each patient and family. VITAS Healthcare is a great, committed environment. We have phenomenal marketing, innovative community outreach, and an excellent clinical team. There’s a positive VITAS culture that nurtures people’s development. It’s very obvious—and unusual in a big company.
