Capital Caring

Mission: To provide patients and their families with advanced illness care of the highest quality.

Providing homecare, hospice services, grief support, children’s hospice care, and veteran support to those in need

Founded in 1977 as Hospice Care of Northern Virginia, Capital Caring Health was one of the fifteen original hospice providers established in the United States. Since its founding, Capital Caring Health has become the region’s largest non-profit advanced illness care provider. Also, it has endeavored to improve care for those facing life-limiting illnesses through direct support of patients and their families, public education, and advocacy.
