Celebrating 40 Years Since the Founding of Hospice of St. Mary’s!

LEONARDTOWN, Md. – Join us in celebrating a milestone today: 40 years since the founding of Hospice of St. Mary’s!

Emphasizing quality-of-life care for those with a life-threatening illness, Hospice was founded in 1981 by Betsy Barley with the support of family and friends. The first 20 individuals completed a volunteer program the following year. Hospice became a department of St. Mary’s Hospital in 1998 and, nine years later, grew to include the Hospice House of St. Mary’s—a six-bed facility in Callaway made possible through tremendous community support.

It’s tough to say how many lives the Hospice team has touched in four decades—and how many lives have touched our own. If Hospice has made a difference for your family, please join us in sharing a memory or well wishes in the comments!

Through the challenges of #COVID19, community donations are what help allow Hospice to continue providing exemplary care regardless of a family’s ability to pay. Visit https://bit.ly/2Yhcp7m or call 301-994-3023 to learn more.
