Montgomery Hospice

What Montgomery Hospice does

Montgomery Hospice Inc. (dba Montgomery & Prince George's Hospice) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit hospice and palliative care provider headquartered in Rockville, Maryland, founded in 1981 as Maryland's first independent, licensed hospice. The organization serves more than 2,700 terminally ill patients annually across Montgomery and Prince George's Counties and extends grief support services to over 5,700 community members each year. Service delivery is built around an interdisciplinary clinical model that combines physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers, spiritual counselors, certified nursing assistants, bereavement counselors, and trained volunteers, with care delivered wherever the patient lives (private homes, group homes, assisted living facilities, nursing homes) and through Casey House, a 14-bed inpatient hospice facility in Rockville that operates as the only inpatient hospice unit in Montgomery County built exclusively for hospice care with 24/7 medical support.

The core product portfolio consists of four lines: Home Hospice Care (routine and continuous home care), Casey House inpatient hospice, Palliative Care for patients with serious chronic illness earlier in the disease trajectory, and Grief Support (individual counseling, support groups, and workshops). Adjacent offerings include the Montgomery Kids pediatric hospice program, the Center for Learning (launched 2011) for community and professional education, the 'What's Important to You?' podcast, and caregiver support resources. The organization maintains a Care Equity Policy and a charity care program that delivered more than $550,000 in uncompensated care in 2023 alone. Distribution is primarily through healthcare-professional referrals (hospitals, nursing facilities, assisted living, faith communities) supplemented by family and self-referrals, with a 24/7 admissions hotline and a dedicated referral processing department.

The revenue model is a hybrid of clinical reimbursement and charitable funding. Hospice services are predominantly reimbursed through the Medicare Hospice Benefit, with secondary coverage from Medicaid and private insurance; patients who exceed private insurance caps or lack coverage are supported through the charity care program. Donations and philanthropic contributions supplement operating revenue, consistent with the organization's nonprofit mission. Marketing channels combine community education (health fairs, workshops, an annual educational newspaper, email newsletters segmented by audience), digital presence (website, Facebook, X, YouTube, LinkedIn), the podcast, and direct outreach to healthcare professionals. Strategic activity in recent years has focused on geographic expansion into Prince George's County (2019), diversification into pediatric and palliative care, and a substantial leadership refresh.
