What is Hospice:

We offer a special healthcare option for patients who are faced with terminal illness, and their families. Our multi-disciplinary team consists of providers, nurses, therapists, social workers, clergy, bereavement counsellors, and volunteers. Our team is committed to providing physical, social, emotional, and spiritual needs to each patient and their family. Here at Southeast Colorado Hospital District Home Health and Hospice we value our patients' wishes. We pride ourselves in being able to provide end of life care for patients and their families who wish to remain at home during the last stage of their life.
Our goal of hospice care isn't to cure underlying disease, but to provide patient dignity and the highest quality of life possible through compassionate care for the patient and their families, pain and symptom management, counseling, end of life education, and caregiver support, education, and training.
