About the Organization
HopeWest, through creativity, volunteerism, and philanthropy, profoundly changes the experiences of aging, illness, and grief—one family at a time. Whatever challenges someone is facing with aging, serious illness, or grief, the team at HopeWest wants to help. They help shoulder the burden of dealing with extreme health and end-of-life situations. They ease pain and relieve stress.
They stand beside patients and loved ones with sincerity, respect, and a sure hand to guide through difficult times. HopeWest’s commitment to serving the community began 31 years ago with a vision to offer compassionate support and comprehensive care to individuals and families throughout western Colorado. Programs have expanded over the years to include hospice, palliative care, grief support for adults and children, and PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly).
HopeWest is committed to meeting the unique physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of patients and families, ensuring they receive exceptional care and comfort during life’s most difficult moments. Having just wrapped up 2023, its care impact was significant. HopeWest served nearly 2,000 patients in hospice care, 250 in palliative care, 560 children and teens through HopeWest Kids navigating grief, 530 adults through its bereavement program, and grew service in its PACE program from 93 to 176 participants.
As a nonprofit, philanthropy is key to supporting the mission of HopeWest and is raised through grants, individual and corporate gifts, events, and support from HopeWest’s retail businesses—Spoons bistro & bakery and Heirlooms for Hospice. More than $3.5 million is raised each year in support of HopeWest’s programs and mission. HopeWest is proud of its tradition of collaboration and innovation alongside generous communities.
It’s the friends and neighbors across the Western Slope who make the type of care provided by HopeWest possible for anyone in need. HopeWest ensures that no one is ever turned away for care, which is only possible with the support of its valuable volunteers. Volunteers are at the heart of the work of HopeWest. Nearly 1,000 volunteers give approximately 77,000 hours to provide companionship for patients and families, assist with grief support groups, help with music and art projects, provide administrative support, greet customers at Heirlooms, and so much more.
