Celebrated each March, National Professional Social Work Month is an opportunity for Compass Regional Hospice to thank its team of social workers, who epitomize the core values of their profession: “Leaders, Advocates, Champions.” This month, social workers across the country are turning the spotlight on their profession and highlighting the important contributions they make. Compass Regional Hospice is fortunate to have these strong women on our team and we value each of them and their contributions to our patients’ well-being. They tie Compass’ mission to provide “Care on your terms” together.

Compass Regional Hospice is a fully licensed, independent, community-based nonprofit organization certified by Medicare and the state of Maryland and accredited by the Joint Commission. Since 1985, Compass Regional Hospice has been dedicated to supporting people of all ages through the challenge of living with a serious illness and learning to live following the death of a loved one. Today, the organization is a regional provider of hospice care, palliative care, and grief support in Queen Anne’s, Kent and Caroline counties. “Care on your terms” is the promise that guides staff and volunteers as they care for patients in private residences, nursing homes, assisted living facilities and the residential hospice centers in Centreville and Chestertown. Grief support services are offered to children, adults, and families of patients who died under hospice care, as well as members of the community who are grieving the loss of a loved one.
