Notice of Non-Discrimination

VITAS complies with applicable Federal civil rights laws and does not discriminate on the basis of gender, race, color, national origin, age, disability, or sex (consistent with the scope of sex discrimination described at 45 CFR § 92.101(a)(2)). VITAS does not exclude people or treat them differently because of gender, race, color, national origin, age, disability, religion, or sex.

VITAS provides free language services to people with disabilities or whose primary language is not English, such as qualified interpreters, information written in other languages or other formats (large print, audio, accessible electronic formats, etc.), qualified sign language interpreters, and other resources. If you need these services, contact your hospice team or 1.844.208.4827.
