Blue Ridge Hospice, a community-based, mission-driven not-for-profit hospice, has been a cornerstone of the Northern Virginia community since its establishment in 1981.

With a focus on managing pain and symptoms to enhance patients’ quality of life, they provide support to anyone affected by death, dying, and loss in their community.

“On behalf of Blue Ridge Hospice, I am looking forward to collaborating on advocacy and education initiatives with other dedicated NPHI members,” said Jason Parsons, President and CEO. “Patients, families, and community members deserve a holistic approach to care, and I am grateful to be working toward that goal together.”
