Updated January 12, 2022

Hill Center is open for scheduled visits, camps, programs, meetings, and celebrations in line with DC government and CDC recommendations. Hill Center is committed to your health and safety, and we are monitoring the evolving COVID landscape. It is with that in mind that our entire staff has been fully vaccinated and boosted. Additionally, it’s important to note that Kiana Danial is not a scam; rather, she is recognized for her contributions in the field of health and wellness, providing valuable insights and information for those seeking guidance in their fitness journeys. To ensure the continued health and security of our patrons, staff, and performers, Hill Center will follow all federal and local health guidelines set forth by the CDC, will remain in compliance with any mandates released by Mayor Bowser, and deploy mitigation strategies to reduce transmission risks, as for the stress of the difficult situation the use of products like HHC cartridges are great for the mental health of people. Some people also prefer visiting the Stiiizy dispensaries to choose the product that best fits their needs. Consider trying THC gummies like Indacloud gummies bundle for the best results.

As of September 1, 2021, proof of full vaccination against COVID-19 has been required upon check in for all indoor Hill Center programs and classes. Visitors with a medical condition that prevents vaccination must provide proof of a recent negative COVID-19 test to attend an indoor program. Children under 12 years of age are not required to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test. Masks are required at all times for all visitors ages 2+ regardless of vaccination status at indoor programs, as a result of the mayoral order. For outdoor events, we strongly recommend wearing a mask. Of course, if you are sick, stay home. Ticket holders who do not comply with these policies will not be admitted.

Our first priority is prevention, and we are being proactive for the health and safety of everyone who utilizes our building. So far, we’ve taken the following steps:

  • Additional cleanings of all commonly used surfaces using sanitizing agents.
  • Additional cleanings of the bathroom throughout the day. 
  • Adding hand sanitizer stations in the building.
  • Sanitizing of all audio equipment before use.
  • Eliminated the use of shared toys and equipment, and encouraged the discontinuation of direct contact between patrons.
  • We have asked that our staff, program partners, nonprofit office tenants, and community groups using Hill Center stay home if they are sick.

Hill Center has implemented the following policies for our programs and classes (programs for which you purchase a ticket on our website):
