The Denver Hospice Announces Grand Opening of Second Optio Palliative Care Outpatient Clinic

Denver, CO – Focused on providing comfort and a better quality of life for patients facing serious or chronic illnesses, The Denver Hospice is opening its second palliative care outpatient clinic, Optio Palliative Care Clinic – South. The new clinic is located at 8299 E. Lowry Boulevard in Denver. The new clinic joins Optio Palliative Care Clinic – North outpatient clinic located at 5054 W. 92nd Ave in Westminster. 

“Finding care for patients with serious illness presents significant challenges and stress for those patients and their caregivers. Optio Palliative Care Clinics provide support so that patients have the best possible quality of life while they complete their treatments, and caregivers get their questions and concerns answered about the care. Easy, convenient, access to palliative care services is a key reason for opening our second outpatient palliative care location,” said Ernesto Lopez, president of The Denver Hospice. 

Palliative Care is specialized medical care for people with serious illnesses. This type of care focuses on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of serious illness. The goal of palliative care is to improve the quality of life for both the patient and their caregivers. Palliative care is provided by a specially trained team of doctors, nurses and other care providers who work in partnership with the patient’s other doctors to ensure care and comfort are addressed in conjunction with curative treatments. Palliative care is appropriate at any age and at any stage of a serious illness. 

Optio Palliative Care Clinics specialize in providing patients and their caregivers with complex symptom management and advanced care planning as well as connection to community resources designed to ease the pressure of managing a serious illness. Other services provided by Option Palliative Care Clinics include programs to help patients live with all types of cancers, chronic lung/respiratory diseases and chronic heart diseases.
