On April 15, 2025, VITAS Healthcare presented a check to the PHSC Foundation at the Porter Campus in Wesley Chapel. Since its arrival in Pasco County in October 2024, VITAS Healthcare has been honored to serve this vibrant community with compassionate, high-quality hospice care. As Florida’ s most trusted end-of-life care provider, VITAS’ mission is to ensure that every individual and family facing serious illness receives the compassionate support they need with comfort and dignity.
“ In just one year, we’ ve seen firsthand the strength and heart of Pasco County,” said Jalisha Wynn, General
Manager for VITAS.“ That’ s why we’ re proud to deepen our commitment by partnering with Pasco-Hernando State College to establish a scholarship that supports the next generation of health care professionals. This collaboration reflects our belief that caring for a community means investing in its future through education, empowerment and shared purpose.”
“ At VITAS, we care not only at the bedside but also in the classroom, in the community and in every space where compassion can make a difference,” Wynn added.“ We’ re grateful to be part of PHSC’ s story and excited to continue building a legacy of care, service and support— together.”
