Mary Washington Healthcare Hospice Services

Affirming Life Through Compassionate Care

Hospice is a very special kind of care and support service for anyone dealing with a life-limiting illness. We have learned that the earlier hospice care begins, the more meaningful and beneficial the support is for patients, caregivers and loved ones. Mary Washington Healthcare Hospice Services helps people live comfortably and with dignity. This allows the patient and family to have more meaningful days. We manage patients' pain and symptoms so they can more easily make decisions. We assist families in working through end-of-life logistics while grieving the illness and loss of a loved one. Preparations for the future are made with the patient so that their final days can be spent in peace with family and loved ones.

We are COVID-19 prepared - find out more.
