Don Klein went from unexplained fatigue and swelling to a rare leukemia diagnosis and a terrifying timeline. When his disease started progressing rapidly, Dr. Luke Mountjoy and the Colorado Blood Cancer Institute team moved fast, started urgent chemotherapy, and pushed for a stem cell transplant as soon as remission was possible.

Today, Don is a couple of years out from transplant, doing amazing, and giving back by volunteering to help other patients. Watch his story here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7M-CtDjNMY

When the dress code says “festive,” but the day still calls for rounds...

Dr. Richard Nash and Dr. Peter Forsberg spent Christmas at the hospital-- and they brought some much-needed laughs with them (peep the shirts!). Behind the smiles, it was a hard day for many of our patients who are very ill and spending the holiday in the hospital. We’re grateful for the steady, compassionate care from these two, and for the amazing team beside them who kept everything moving. Happy Holidays from our family to yours.

Brandy Jo is a nurse, a wife, and a mom of two. And she wasn’t about to let MS keep shrinking her world.

She traveled from Idaho to Denver for a stem cell transplant with our team -- a higher-risk treatment that can offer a higher chance of durable remission, as her physician shared.

High risk? High reward. Her disease progression has been slowed, she’s walking without a cane and getting to experience holiday magic with her kiddos.

We’re honored to be part of stories like this. Read it now: https://www.healthonecares.com/about-us/patient-stories/brandy-jo?sf277449563=1

At Colorado Blood Cancer Institute, we have the privilege of walking alongside patients through some of life’s most challenging journeys. One of those remarkable individuals was Ciarra.

Ciarra’s story is one of extraordinary resilience. Over six years, she faced blood cancer with unwavering strength. Her courage inspired our entire care team and everyone who had the honor of knowing her. She reminded us daily why we do what we do: to provide hope, healing, and compassion when it matters most.

Her legacy lives on in the hearts of her family and the CBCI team. She will forever be remembered as more than a patient—she was a fighter, a mother, and a beacon of strength. To all our patients and families, Ciarra’s story is a testament to the power of perseverance and the community that surrounds you here at CBCI.

Every nonprofit organization starts with sparks– an inspiring ‘why.’ For Small Choices, one of those sparks is Ciarra.✨

Ciarra, her partner Marlin, and their little one, Summit, were the second family referred to Small Choices in 2019. Before gaining her angel wings last month, Ciarra led a courageous 6 year journey enduring cancer, COVID isolation, 3 bone marrow transplants, multiple infections, GVHD and time away from home…and her bright light shone all the way through. ♥️🪽

Small Choices aims to ensure Marlin and Summit are showered in love this Christmas, as well as at least 100 more patients and their families navigating cancer this holiday season through our Holiday Giving adopt-a-family program and inpatient gift bag deliveries.

🎁 This Colorado Gives Day, we humbly ask you to make a gift in honor of our angels like Ciarra. All donations made between now and Dec 9th are boosted by a $1M+ incentive fund – please schedule your special gift via https://www.coloradogives.org/organization/Small-Choices-Foundation

Last week, Drs. Jonathan Lockhart and Tara Gregory brought Thanksgiving to the blood cancer and stem cell transplant units at HCA HealthONE Presbyterian St. Luke’s sharing smiles, gratitude, and a taste of home.

They even hosted a friendly “bake off!" The winning recipe? Dr. Gregory's Grandma Marian’s apple pie. (YUM!)

Just one sweet example of how every member of the Colorado Blood Cancer Institute team strives to care for our patients like family.

We're growing to serve you better! The Colorado Blood Cancer Institute (CBCI) and Outpatient Infusion Services recently began construction to expand our infusion services -- part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing the care and comfort of our patients.
