Honoring Volunteers Who Power Compassionate Care at The Denver Hospice

Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon celebrates the individuals who help bring comfort and connection to patients and families across the Denver community


At The Denver Hospice, compassionate care extends far beyond clinical services—it’s powered by a dedicated community of volunteers who give their time, energy, and heart to support patients and families.

This week, The Denver Hospice hosted a Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon in the Denver area to recognize and thank these extraordinary individuals. The event served as both a celebration of their generosity and a reminder of the vital role volunteers play in advancing the organization’s mission.

Leadership from across The Denver Hospice shared personal messages of gratitude, including President Ben Marcantonio, Kerry McLaughlin, MS, RN, Vice President of Clinical Services, and Sue Farnsworth, Volunteer Bereavement Manager. Each speaker highlighted the profound difference volunteers make—whether through companionship visits, bereavement support, or assisting staff behind the scenes.

Volunteers are an integral part of hospice care in the Denver community, helping to create meaningful moments of connection, comfort, and dignity for those facing serious illness and end-of-life journeys. Their presence not only supports patients but also provides strength and reassurance to families during difficult times.

Events like the Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon reflect The Denver Hospice’s deep commitment to recognizing and uplifting those who give so much of themselves in service to others.

For individuals interested in giving back, volunteering with The Denver Hospice offers a unique opportunity to make a lasting impact in the Denver, Colorado community while supporting compassionate, person-centered care.
