Who We Are

Capital Hospice has been providing expert end-of-life care in the Washington DC metropolitan area since 1977. As one of the oldest, largest, and most experienced hospice care programs in the United States, we have served more than 45,000 patients and loved ones in this community.

In the middle ages, a hospice was a place where weary or sick travelers could find rest or comfort on a long journey. Today, hospice is a comprehensive program of care designed to help a person with a life-limiting illness and their loved ones complete the journey of life.

Hospice provides loving, compassionate care that assists people who are dying and their loved ones with a full range of medical, emotional, spiritual, and social needs. We operate regional offices throughout the Washington metropolitan area.

Several things set us apart from other hospices:

• We are a nationally recognized program.
• We have an “open door” policy, offering end-of-life care to anyone who seeks it, regardless of financial circumstances.
• We operate a hospice inpatient acute care unit in Arlington, Virginia.
• We offer a bereavement program to patients and grief and loss services to the community.
• We operate a free annual weekend summer camp experience open to anyone in the metropolitan area coping with grief.
• We are fully committed to providing employees with a thorough orientation and opportunities for ongoing education and professional development.

We welcome your interest in our organization and look forward to hearing from you.
