Because of the Irving M. Einbinder Charitable Foundation’s generosity, Hospice of Washington County is able to have a state-of-the art Simulation Lab. This is one of the few dedicated end-of-life hospice simulation labs in the U.S. The lab includes highly innovative tools and resources in a setting that mimics a fully furnished, real-life patient bedroom featuring a Lifecast Manikin. Equipped for Life donated the bed, wheelchair, and oxygen concentrator. We thank them for their contributions which will directly impact the lives of our patients by ensuring that our caregivers are equipped with the highest level of expertise and empathy. Together, we can ensure that every patient receives the comfort and dignity they deserve during their final journey. Call anytime for an evaluation, (301) 791-6360.

Hospice of Washington County and its Vet-to-Vet committee wish all men and women on active duty and retired from the Naval Reserve a very Happy Birthday.

Thank you for your service and sacrifice to keep not only this country free, but also to respond to our allies in times of need. Celebrate with pride and commitment.
