On this morning’s Good Morning NOCO, Brian and Tanner spoke with Pathways Director of Business Development, Natalie Petersen!

Natalie highlighted how fortunate we are to be part of such a generous, supportive community—one whose encouragement is reflected in the caring culture of our Pathways team. She also shared a glimpse of what’s ahead for Pathways in 2026 and tackled the all-important question: which foods shouldn’t include bacon?

It was a fun, thoughtful conversation, and we’re always grateful for the chance to talk about the meaningful work we do every day.

These wonderful volunteers baked delicious cookies for patients and families at the Pathways Inpatient Care Center. What started as a thoughtful gesture has become a cherished holiday tradition, and we are incredibly grateful for the warmth and cheer they bring each year. We are so fortunate to have such kind and generous volunteers and supporters in our community.

The Pathways office will feel just a bit emptier in the new year, as long-time Volunteer Coordinator Deb Hayman retires after 14 years of heartfelt service. Fortunately, the legacy she leaves behind will continue to shape Pathways—and the Northern Colorado community—for many years to come.

Deb stepped into the volunteer coordinator role nearly 15 years ago, following a long and successful career in fundraising. While serving on the Pathways Board of Directors, she learned that the coordinator position had opened and immediately recognized that her skills, strengths, and passion were a perfect match for the work.

The growth of the volunteer program during her tenure proved her right. When Deb first began, volunteers supported around 90 hospice patients and families at any given time. Today, that number has blossomed to more than 300—now including not only hospice patients, but also individuals receiving palliative care and those seeking grief and loss counseling.

But it wasn’t just Pathways that changed. Deb shares that the work was transformational for her as well.

“I have been humbled by the incredible variety and diversity of volunteers who have given so much to support our mission,” she said. “Their wisdom, kindness, and compassion have made me a better person.”

She also credits the role with teaching her the value of being fully present. “If a volunteer called me or stopped by my office, I always dropped everything and gave them my full attention,” she said. “Their stories and their knowledge were too important for anything less.”

As Deb prepares for retirement, she admits the moment is bittersweet. Still, she finds comfort knowing that the impact of her work will continue to live on—in the experiences of patients and families who received so much more because of the dedication of her volunteer team.

She summed up her Pathways career simply and beautifully: “It’s good work, and it fills me up.”

Thank you, Deb, for your leadership, your heart, and your unwavering commitment. Pathways is a better place because of you, and you will be deeply missed. We wish you every joy in the next chapter.

This past weekend, Pathways hosted a Wreath Making event for individuals currently facing the challenging and confusing emotions that often accompany loss and grief.

Rooted in the tradition of the “language of flowers,” each flower carries its own meaning — symbolizing emotions such as love, remembrance, hope, and healing. Participants were invited to thoughtfully choose flowers that reflected their personal stories and feelings. The wreath itself, shaped in an unbroken circle, honors those who have passed and serves as a powerful symbol of eternal love and the continuous cycle of life.

We are honored to walk alongside our community and provide meaningful, compassionate support during times of loss.

Longtime Pathways volunteer Pat Dejardin was asked why he supports our organization and our work. He told us, “I have footprints on my heart from all of the people I have seen.”
