Losing a sibling can be a deeply personal and lifelong loss. This special 8-week support group is for adults who have experienced the death of a sibling—whether recently or earlier in life.

🗓 Tuesdays, March 3 – April 28 (except April 7)
⏰ 5:30 – 7:00 PM
📍 Frederick Health Village

Facilitated by Hospice Grief Counselor Jessica Thornton, LCSW-C, this group offers a safe, supportive space to share stories, connect with others who understand, and learn healthy ways to cope—because you don’t have to go through it alone.

Please note: this group currently has a waitlist. We still encourage you to register in case a spot becomes available, or to be added to the list for our next Loss of a Sibling support group. To join the waitlist, email griefsupport@frederick.health or call 240-566-3030.

We are so proud of the Frederick Health family!

We are so proud of our incredible team for coming together to support our Angel Fund Donation Drive; team members helping one another when it matters most.

Thanks to the generosity of our team, we raised over $22,000! Every contribution makes a real difference to supporting our very own Frederick Health team.

Pictured is the winner of our PTO drawing—just a small way we can say thank you for showing up with such heart.

We are beyond grateful for this team and the way we lift each other while caring for our community. 💛

Hospice’s Veteran Liaisons are seeking donations of handmade blankets to present to each veteran during their annual recognition ceremony. The blankets are a highlight of the ceremony each year because they’re practical, unique, and meaningful as gifts – and often stay as a beloved reminder with the family long after the veteran has passed away.

See page 5 of our Winter Newsletter for acceptance details.https://www.frederickhealthhospice.org/documents/hospice/Hospice_Winter-2025-Newsletter.pdf

Dana French has a simple piece of advice that brought him to a place of comfort as he faces terminal illness: start early.

“After I realized I wasn’t tolerating the treatment options, I saw that hospice could help me get the most from the time I had left.”

While he doesn’t know how much time that is, Dana knows his hospice team is there for him—giving him the freedom to enjoy his family, friends, and the habits of a life well lived.
