Make a Difference as a VITAS Representative
What Do VITAS Representatives Do?
As a VITAS representative, you can do work that matters, educating healthcare professionals about hospice and how, when, and why it can benefit patients.
Representatives become trusted resources for health care clinicians and their patients, and families, receiving extensive training that enables them to become subject-matter experts on hospice and how patients can access hospice care.
They help ensure patients get timely access to their Medicare hospice benefit while also receiving patient-centered, interdisciplinary care from a team of VITAS professionals.
Our advanced customer relationship management tool provides representatives with up-to-date information we can share with physicians, keeping them posted on how a patient is doing. It’s not about numbers—it’s about caring for people.
