Hospice of Washington County, Inc. was established in 1980, for the sole purpose of lending support to those facing a terminal illness and their families. A core of caring citizens of Washington County, Maryland, gathered to see how they could offer their time and talents to help share the burden of a serious illness for their neighbors.
Over the past 45 years, Hospice of Washington County developed into a full service hospice with two doctors, registered nurses, certified nursing assistants, professional social workers and spiritual care providers, in addition to our many dedicated volunteers.
As the exclusive licensed provider of hospice care in Washington County, Maryland, our goal is to surround the patients and their families with a personal team of professionals who know how to manage often the most difficult situations.
