DC's #1 Source for Jobs

Capital Hospice, a nationally-recognized leader in hospice care, is celebrating 25 years of keeping our promise to the community to provide expert comfort and care to individuals and families facing loss and the end of life, regardless of the nature of their illness, lack of a caregiver, or the inability to pay for their care. We are a community-based, community-minded, non-profit organization.

Hospice of Northern Virginia
For a quarter century, Hospice of Northern Virginia has been privileged to help patients with advanced, life-limiting illness live their final days to the fullest and in comfort. We also provide both patients and their loved ones with emotional and spiritual support. Hospice of Northern Virginia's service area includes the counties of Arlington, Fairfax, Fauquier, Loudoun, Prince William and Stafford and the metropolitan areas of Alexandria, Arlington, Falls Church, Fairfax, Manassas, Manassas Park and Warrenton.

Hospice Care of DC
Hospice Care of DC was also among the nation's first hospice programs. HCDC has provided compassionate care to those with an advanced, life-limiting illness in the Nation's Capital for 25 years. HCDC joined Capital Hospice in 1998.

Hospice of Prince George's County
Hospice of Suburban Maryland
Hospice of Prince George's County, our newest addition, joined the Capital Hospice family in August 2001. Also among the nation's most established hospices, HPGC has been serving Prince George's County since 1983. Because HPGC's hospice philosophy and approach to caregiving was so similar to that of Hospice of Suburban Maryland, the Board of Directors of each organization agreed that combining the hospices would result in a single, strong, Medicare-certified, non-profit program that will better serve the growing needs of the Prince George's County community.

Halquist Memorial Inpatient Hospice Center
When around-the-clock attention or respite care is needed, patients and families may turn to the Halquist Memorial Inpatient Hospice Center in Arlington, Va. Established in 1982, The Hospice Center virtually glows with warmth and many of the comforts of home. The only free-standing acute care inpatient facility in the area, the Hospice Center is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.

Capital Hospice takes a life-affirming approach to hospice care, with an emphasis on patient comfort, dignity and choice. Hospice professionals assist patients and their loved ones in living each day to the fullest, in the most purposeful and meaningful way, consistent with their wishes and needs.

The interdisciplinary hospice care team includes a physician, nurse, social worker, chaplain, certified nursing assistants and specially trained volunteers. As part of the plan of care, we also offer physical, occupational, speech and other therapies as needed. Our art therapy program helps young people cope with terminal illness and loss. Hospice care professionals are accessible 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.

Capital Hospice's extensive bereavement program offers counseling, support groups, and workshops for individuals and families coping with loss. We also offer special weekend and day camps for children, adolescents, and adults who have lost a loved one.

Generous community support helps us keep our promise to serve all who need our services.
