VITAS Healthcare Honored as a Premier Workplace for 2025

In a significant achievement for the healthcare sector, VITAS Healthcare, the nation’s leading provider of palliative care, has received recognition as one of the Best Workplaces in Healthcare for 2025, awarded by Top Workplaces USA. This prestigious accolade is derived entirely from feedback provided by employees, underscoring the importance of their experiences and perceptions in shaping workplace culture.

Commitment to a Purpose-Driven Culture

With this recognition, VITAS has distinguished itself as one of only 57 healthcare organizations in the country, each boasting over 1,000 employees to receive such an honor. VITAS Healthcare attributes this accolade to its ongoing commitment to fostering a purpose-oriented culture that not only supports its employees but also enhances the quality of care provided to patients and their families.

Ava Padmore-Lewis, Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer at VITAS, remarked, “This honor belongs to our employees. Their compassion, dedication, and purpose-driven work are what make VITAS a special place for patients, families, and everyone involved. I am proud of the culture they have created and the difference they make every day.”

Employee Feedback Central to Recognition

Employee feedback played a crucial role in obtaining this recognition, highlighting VITAS’s long-standing commitment to its staff and its mission. Earlier this year, team members were invited to participate in a confidential survey to share their experiences. The survey results focused on fundamental elements of engaged workplace cultures, including alignment, connection, and purpose.

An anonymous employee stated, “I love the culture at VITAS. The help-each-other mentality makes one feel like you are never alone. Being able to work with leaders who listen to our concerns and help us address them is truly unique.”

Similarly, another unnamed employee endorsed VITAS as an excellent workplace: “The leaders genuinely care about the success of their employees and have created a supportive environment. They promote a culture of kindness, respect, and integrity, which our leadership embodies perfectly.”

Ongoing Investment in Employee Development

VITAS continues to invest in its workforce with professional development programs, employee recognition platforms, and advanced technologies that enhance collaboration and productivity. In 2023, VITAS was recognized by HRO Today Association for its excellence in employee experience within the healthcare sector, further solidifying its reputation as a leading employer.

Founded in 1978, VITAS now counts nearly 12,000 professionals across 15 states and the District of Columbia among its ranks, delivering compassionate palliative and hospice care to over 22,000 seriously ill patients daily.
