Frederick Health Hospice

Your community hospice since 1980. When quantity of time is no longer possible, we focus on quality of life.

By managing symptoms and easing emotional and spiritual pain, we assist individuals to live out their remaining days in peace, comfort and dignity. We strive to treat the whole person, and view the patient and family as a unit. By managing symptoms, easing emotional and spiritual pain, and honoring our patients' and families' priorities and personal choices, we assist individuals to live out their remaining days in peace, comfort and dignity, while supporting those they love as well.

What’s the difference between palliative care and hospice care?

“The most important thing to know,” Dr. McDonald says, “is that a palliative care team works to relieve the worst of symptoms, often from chronic illness, and improve a patient’s quality of life. Palliative care is also well-versed in hospice eligibility, and is well-equipped to help facilitate that conversation when it’s time.”

☀️ Thanks to the generous support of Hospice’s Sunshine Fund, we were able to purchase special diabetic shoes for one of our patients. Providing dignity, comfort, and compassionate care at the end of life is at the heart of our mission — and your support makes moments like this possible. We'll miss his smiling face!

We're so grateful with our partnership with Frederick Flying Cows and their 12-Days of Giving program! When you purchase Flying Cows tickets or merchandise and use the code FREDHEALTH, you’ll receive a discount—and 10% of your purchase will be donated to Hospice. It’s a fun way to support local basketball while giving back to our community.

The holidays are often a time for joy and togetherness, but this time of year can also remind us of those we love who are no longer with us. Grieving people often feel loneliness and despair in between holiday warmth and gratitude. These varying feelings are normal but can complicate navigating holiday traditions and activities.

At Frederick Health Hospice, we honor all the feelings you might feel this holiday season and are here to support all grieving people in our community through our grief support services. Contact us at griefsupport@frederick.health or call 240-566-3030.

Veteran John Cooper loves spending time with Music Therapist Melanie- enjoying the simple joy of singing along to his favorite songs. Beyond the fun, music therapy gently eases pain, reduces anxiety, soothes respiratory symptoms, and creates meaningful moments of connection and comfort. 🎵💛

💬 Together, we can make conversations about the end of life less daunting. By talking openly, we ensure that our wishes—and those of the people who matter most to us—are understood and respected.

The Conversation Project offers free tools, guidance, and resources to help you start these important conversations with loved ones, friends, and chosen family.

🎁 Still looking for a meaningful gift for a loved one?

You can support Hospice with a hand-blown glass angel ornament given in memory or in honor of someone dear — or add one to your own holiday tree as a symbol of love and remembrance. Or, if you’re looking for something a little different, a blue quartz Em(brace)let from Colonial Jewelers is another beautiful way to give a gift that also gives back.

Both options support the important work of Hospice and make heartfelt gifts this season.

🎁 “Our parents, Chuck and JoAnn, were best friends and inseparable for nearly their entire lives—even during their time in hospice care. Most people don’t realize that such peace and dignity are possible at the end of life through hospice, or that this compassionate care is available right here in Frederick.

We hope you will join us in making a gift today. Just imagine how many lives your support could touch.”
