Falls Church-Based Hospice Care Provider Marks 40 Years

FALLS CHURCH, VA -- The Falls Church-based Capital Caring hospice care provider is celebrating 40 years of serving the region Friday.

The organization started by volunteers 40 years ago as one of the first hospice cares in the nation. Since then it has served over 110,000 individuals and families in Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and Washington, DC. Capital Caring provides hospice care in private homes, nursing homes and assisted living facilities.

The organization strives to care for each individual's needs, from home visits to round-the-clock care in four of its facilities.

“We take great pride in delivering innovative, transformative, and holistic advanced illness care and support to the 1,300 moms, dads, and kids who entrust us to simply improve their care every day,” said Capital Caring President and CEO Malene Davis. “Our doctors, nurses, social workers, counselors, and volunteers work with each person to address what matters most and to provide care that fits their lives and allows them to enjoy precious time with their loved ones.”

The group will officially celebrate the anniversary during a benefit concert on May 1. The event will be at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, DC and will feature Olivia Newton-John, Grammy nominee Beth Nielsen Chapman, and SOCAN Award-winner Amy Sky. The artists will perform from their new album, LIV ON, which centers on offering hope to those that have experienced challenges or losses in their lives.

Purchase tickets online or by calling 703-531-2386.
