Capital Caring Health- Veterans Programs

Capital Caring Health provides care for 1400 patients daily who are facing life limiting illness. We are a non- profit who never turn anyone away based on their inability to pay, we proudly serve our community.  We rely on dedicated volunteers to support our mission.  We provide care to those of all ages, ranging from infants to geriatrics.  We have a robust pediatric and veterans program.    

Capital Caring Health has proudly served members of the military since our founding in 1977, providing a full suite of care and services, plus recognition ceremonies and programs to match veteran patients with our veteran volunteers. While Capital Caring Health has recognized and honored our veterans for many years — what we have discovered is that what veterans and their caregivers most need, is a “boots-on-the-ground” approach. This includes help in accessing more in-home caregiver support and veterans’ benefits, such as disability compensation, pensions and healthcare.
