From The President
Dear Friends,
As spring approaches, we like to take time to ensure we thank all of the people in our community who give their time to make our mission possible – these are our volunteers.
April is the month that Pathways celebrates the outstanding contributions of the many volunteers who support the care we provide.
The entire month of April is designated to recognize the contributions of volunteers around the country and, April 19 – 25 is National Volunteer Week in 2026. During this time, we will be celebrating the many hours and services that our more than 150 volunteers provide each year. In 2025, volunteers at Pathways provided more than 14,000 hours of direct patient care services.
Hospice volunteers play an indispensable role in enabling hospice and palliative care organizations to offer the highest-quality care and support possible for the people they serve. By sharing their time, energy, and expertise, volunteers bring compassion and caring to the lives of those in need.
In fact, we owe our beginnings to volunteers who saw as need and stepped up to provide necessary care and support to a woman in Larimer County was dying of cancer. This was in 1978 that a small group of women rallied together, volunteered their time, and cared for her in the final months of her life. That act of loving kindness became the seed of what is now Pathways.
Nearly five decades later, we are still here. Still shaped by that founding spirit. Still caring for Northern Colorado residents regardless of financial circumstance. Still doing the work all of these women believed was worth doing.
On behalf of our Board of Directors and our professional team members, I want to thank all our volunteers for their dedication to the mission of Pathways hospice. We could not fulfill this mission without you.
For more information, or if you have questions about the services Pathways provides, please contact us at www.pathways-care.org or (970) 663-3500.
Thank you for your ongoing support of Pathways.
