Jobs by Vitas House Hospice

Vitas House Hospice was a dream of Dr. George Laquis for many years before it became a reality. Trinidad and Tobago Cancer Society’s Chairman had been inspired by the works and words of two women who cared about the terminally ill: Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, who wrote the ground-breaking book on Death and Dying, and Cicely Saunders, a British nurse who recognized that too many people were dying in pain and who were ignored by the medical establishment. At age 47, Cicely Saunders became a doctor and dedicated her life and knowledge to humanizing the system. She is the founder of the modern hospice movement.

From a dream came the reality that is Vitas House Hospice. It is run by an independent group of people and funded by generous donations from individuals, businesses, families of patients, funeral collections, etc.
