Mission

Profile

Since 1977, Capital Caring Health has improved care for those facing life-limiting illness by providing compassion-based, end-of-life care to patients of all ages. Our mission is simple: to provide the highest quality advanced illness care with dignity and compassion. Dr. Josephino Magno, our pioneering founder, understood that people living with serious illness needed both substantial and sustained care, and that every “soul” in our community deserves to be treated equitably regardless of ability to pay. Capital Caring Health is proud to have provided almost $2 million last year in charity care to those underinsured or uninsured patients across our service region.  

As one of the first and largest non-profit hospice and advanced illness organizations in the nation, and the first to establish a self-standing inpatient hospice unit (IPU), Capital Caring Health delivers highly specialized, extensive, sustained care when and where our patients and their families need our critical services most. Capital Caring Health has been a pioneer in hospice care, from the time we were a demonstration site for the Medicare Hospice Benefit in 1982, to being the first to accept HIV-Aids patients, to interventional pain management and palliative care specialties, to our new services that enables people to age in place such as Primary Care At Home.

 Our goal as a nonprofit remains the same year after year: to continue to improve care for those facing a life-limiting illness. Throughout 2023, Capital Caring Health will continue to place our patients’ needs first while providing hospice, palliative, and pediatric care as well as grief support to all who require it.
