Welcome to The Denver Hospice
We are the leading, largest and most trusted not-for-profit provider of life-enhancing hospice and palliative care.
At The Denver Hospice, we know that caring for a loved one with an illness can take an emotional toll on a family, and we believe that family members, like you, have enough to worry about. You shouldn’t have to worry about making the right choice of care provider too.
The Denver Hospice helps families find relief by providing a tenured team of trustworthy and loving caregivers across a wide range of services, and as a non-profit organization, you can rest assured knowing we always put our patients above profits. Contact us today or consider making a donation in support of services that benefit the families in our community, because everyone deserves peace of mind.
Comprehensive Support for Your Entire Family
Our array of services means your loved one can start with palliative care and move within one organization to hospice care when the time comes, providing a continuum of care that will support your entire family when you need help the most.
Hospice Care
The main goal of hospice care is the comfort of the patient and their family. It is important to understand that hospice is not a specific place—it is a specific type of care provided with compassion and dignity.
Palliative Care
Optio Health Palliative Care provides relief to those who have been diagnosed with a life-limiting or terminal illness. Services may begin as early as your initial diagnosis and continue through your treatment.
Grief & Support
Our Grief Center offers a full range of grief support services to help you process and explore your loss, including grief support groups, individual counseling, children and teen support, and memorial services.

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.
