"As someone who has first-hand experience of the incredible compassionate care Hospice provides to our families, a Hospice house in our community will allow Hospice of Charles County to bring extended and continuous care to our citizens during their end-of-life journey."

- State Senator Mac Middleton


Our Need

Our community is changing and our capability to provide support must grow to meet that challenge.

By 2030, there will be triple the number of 60-year olds in Charles County, stressing our ability to provide the kind of medical care needed.

In the next twenty-five years, Charles County residents will be confronted with 12,600 incidences of cancer with more than 4,100 deaths possible during the same timeframe.

That’s just cancer, which represents only half of all terminal illness cases that Hospice of Charles County provides care for. Combined with other life-ending illnesses, the need for additional Hospice services grows every day. Unless there are dramatic medical breakthroughs, it is likely that Hospice of Charles County will serve more than 500 patients a year as early as next decade.

This growing need to complete the continuum of care in Charles County makes the development of a Hospice House an essential addition to our medical facilities.
