We are deeply grateful to the Antietam Exchange Club of Hagerstown, MD for their generous support of Hospice of Washington County’s children’s bereavement programming. This funding will help provide essential tools and resources—including comfort and memorial bears, multicultural grief materials, musical instruments, sensory supports, and caregiver education—to better serve grieving children and families in our community. Your commitment helps ensure that children facing loss are met with compassion, understanding, and the resources they need to heal. Thank you for making a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.

Happy 250th Independence Day from Hospice of Washington County! Today, we celebrate the freedom we cherish and honor the brave men and women of our military—past and present—who protect it.

If you are a veteran looking for a meaningful way to continue giving back, we welcome you to connect with us and explore how you can make a difference in our community. Join our Veteran Volunteer team. Call (301) 791-6360 or email [email protected] to learn more.

At Doey’s House—the only inpatient hospice house in our community—families and friends can honor a beloved veteran through a lasting tribute, with a $1,000 donation supporting compassionate end-of-life care that includes a special plaque displayed outside our veteran patient rooms; this meaningful recognition reflects a legacy of remembrance, dignity, and gratitude while also helping provide comfort, peace, and support to patients and families in our community when they need it most.
