The Denver Hospice Mission Moments
As the leader in hospice care in our region, we have a responsibility to educate our community about hospice and palliative care and issues facing organizations like ours. Recently, The Denver Hospice has been involved in the following community media events to share information about our life-enhancing care.
The Denver Hospice partners with the CU School of Medicine to help guide the elderly LGBTQ Community
The Denver Hospice is partnering with the CU School of Medicine to help increase advanced care planning for LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) and other hi-risk elders. The project is funded by Next 50 Initiative*. We are training LGBTQ community members on advance care planning and how to talk about it. The goal is for the trained individuals to share the information with their peers and friends.
Ultimately, we want to increase advanced care planning in a community that typically lacks strong family connections and support. Outfront, the local LGBTQ magazine, features our partnership in the current issue (view article).
*Next 50 Initiative is a Colorado-based private foundation dedicated to funding mission-driven initiatives that improve the lives of the older adult population and their caregivers.
