November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month: Honoring Compassion and Comfort | |
| | |
Each November, we take time to recognize National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, a special opportunity to celebrate the compassionate care that helps patients and families live life as fully as possible, even when facing serious illness. Across the country, hospice and palliative care programs bring comfort, dignity, and peace to millions of people each year.
For families, hospice and palliative care mean more than just medical services. They offer guidance, understanding, and a helping hand during one of life’s most challenging times.
Nurses, social workers, chaplains, volunteers, and other dedicated team members work together to ensure that patients and their loved ones never feel alone.
We at Pathways encourage you to learn more about these vital services. Now is the perfect time to explore how these programs bring comfort and hope to so many.

Fundraising Success
A Vintage Affair To Remember!
| | |
September 21, 2025 was an incredible evening at Pathways' A Vintage Affair fundraiser, held at Front Range Community College and presented by Wilbur’s Total Beverage! Featuring 200+ varieties of wine, beer, and whiskey from around the world, gourmet appetizers, a silent auction and more, thanks to the generosity of our amazing community, we raised more than $41,000 to support two vital Pathways programs:
- The Dream Quilters, who create and donate 35–40 beautiful, handcrafted quilts each month for patients at Pathways Inpatient Care Center.
- The Pathways Family Assistance Fund, which provides grants for hospice families facing urgent non-medical expenses such as food, travel, mortgage or rent, and more.
We are beyond grateful to everyone who attended, donated, and helped make this night such a success.
A huge thank-you to our generous sponsors for making this special evening possible!

Honoring Those Who Served
Recognizing Veterans on Veterans Day and Beyond
| | |
Each year on November 11, our nation comes together to celebrate Veterans Day—a time to honor the brave men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. At Pathways, this day holds special meaning. We are deeply grateful for the sacrifices veterans have made and are proud to provide compassionate, specialized care through our participation in the We Honor Veterans program.
Pathways is a proud member of the National Alliance for Care at Home, which partners with the Department of Veterans Affairs to support this important initiative, and we are even more proud to have achieved Level Four Status within the program.
Each veteran’s journey is different, and our team takes time to learn about every individual’s branch and era of service. This helps us provide care that is both personal and respectful, addressing the physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges veterans may face at the end of life.
A meaningful part of our care includes recognition ceremonies. When a new veteran joins our service, our volunteers honor them by presenting certificates, pins, and hats as a small token of gratitude for their service to our country. These heartfelt moments often lead to shared stories and connections that remind us all of the power of appreciation.
This Veterans Day—and every day—Pathways proudly salutes those who have served. We remain committed to honoring our veterans with the dignity, compassion, and respect they deserve.
