The secret to Vivo Healthcare Wauchula ’s success is the strong team of professional staff who give 100% of themselves, every day, to ensure total patient care and satisfaction.

We carefully select nurses and aides for their skill and experience, as well as for their caring and empathetic natures.

The care we provide for our patients is matched by the care we provide for our care providers. We treat everyone in our facility as family, because that’s how we view everyone under our roof.
