Some losses change everything.

And in the quiet after the calls and casseroles stop coming… the grief is still there.

If you’re missing someone.
If you’re exhausted from caregiving.
If you’re carrying more than you expected…

You don’t have to hold it by yourself.

Pathways Hospice & Palliative Care offers welcoming support groups where you can sit with people who truly understand — no pressure, no expectations, just space to share (or simply listen).

In hospice care, a physician’s role goes far beyond medicine.

It may be sitting with a family to answer questions.
Helping a patient find comfort.
Or ensuring someone’s final chapter is guided by dignity and compassion.

These moments happen every day through the work of physicians at Pathways Hospice.

Pathways’ very own Dr. Nate Chappelle and Dr. Julie Davita-Bailey bring more than clinical expertise to our hospice and palliative services. They bring presence, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to the patients and families living through some of life's most profound transitions.

We are deeply grateful for their leadership and for the way they pour themselves into this work every single day.

Thank you, Dr. Chappelle and Dr. Davita-Bailey. Pathways is better because of you.

💙 Volunteers are at the heart of our care.

Yesterday, Pathways welcomed a new group of compassionate community members to volunteer orientation. These dedicated individuals are preparing to support patients, families, and staff in meaningful ways.

Because volunteers play such an important role in our work, we work hard to make sure they feel confident, prepared, and supported before they begin serving.

From companionship visits to administrative help and community outreach, our volunteers bring comfort, connection, and kindness to the people we serve every day.

We’re grateful for every person who chooses to share their time and heart with Pathways. 💙

This coming April is National Volunteer Month, and at Pathways we’re celebrating the people who quietly make so much of our work possible.

Our volunteers show up in meaningful ways — sitting with someone who needs companionship, supporting families through grief, helping with events, and offering time, care, and presence when it matters most.

Their compassion helps ensure that no one has to face serious illness or loss alone.

This month we’re shining a light on the incredible volunteers who give their time and heart to our community. Their impact reaches far beyond the hours they serve.

Read our latest newsletter to learn more about the volunteers who make Pathways’ work possible and the many ways people in our community are giving back. https://conta.cc/4rnI9Tc

If you’ve ever considered volunteering, April is a perfect time to get involved. Get started here: https://pathways-care.org/volunteer/

Strong partnerships help ensure patients receive the highest level of care.

Pathways is proud to partner with Superior Medical Equipment, an ACHC-accredited provider of durable medical equipment (DME). This collaboration helps ensure our patients receive high-quality equipment, timely delivery, and reliable service when it matters most.

Recently, we received this feedback about Will, a member of the Superior Medical Equipment team:

"Will was an amazing man! Perfect for this job! He was so caring, so polite, explained everything so thoroughly, and was professional all at the same time! The equipment is like new, updated, clean, and functioning well! I am so impressed and grateful for this company and the services!"

Thank you, Will, for representing the compassionate, patient-focused care that makes partnerships like this meaningful.

Both Pathways and Superior Medical Equipment are affiliates of Care Synergy — a network of mission-driven, values-based, not-for-profit healthcare organizations dedicated to helping individuals with serious illness remain at home, avoid unnecessary hospitalizations, and experience the highest possible comfort and quality of life.

One of the most common questions hospice professionals hear is:

“Why are you here? This patient isn’t dying.”

It’s a question that reveals one of the biggest misconceptions about hospice care — that it’s only for the final days of life.

In reality, hospice is designed to support patients and families months earlier, providing expert symptom management, emotional and spiritual support, and guidance from a full interdisciplinary care team.

Too often families tell us: “We wish we had known about hospice sooner.”

In our latest blog, we explore why earlier hospice care can make such a meaningful difference for patients and families.

During Women's History Month, we’re reflecting on the women whose courage reshaped how we care for people at the end of life.

More than 50 years ago, Dame Cicely Saunders (pictured above), Florence Wald, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, and Zelda Foster challenged the way medicine approached dying. Their work sparked the modern hospice movement and helped build a model of care centered on dignity, honesty, and compassion.

Their vision also helped inspire the founding of Pathways right here in Northern Colorado.

March is National Social Work Month, and at Pathways we are proud to recognize the incredible social workers who are such an essential part of our care teams.

Social workers help patients and families navigate some of life’s most challenging moments with compassion, guidance, and understanding. Whether offering emotional support, helping families access resources, or ensuring a patient’s wishes are honored, they play a vital role in delivering care with dignity and respect.

Thank you to our Pathways social workers for the empathy, advocacy, and dedication you bring to every patient and family you serve. We are grateful for you this month and every month.

Sometimes a single moment can capture an entire journey.

Recently, a family member of one of our patients shared a piece of artwork inspired by a conversation her parents had on their way to the Pathways Inpatient Care Center.

For many years, their family traveled to Baja together — a place filled with memories and meaning. During the drive to Pathways, her mom asked quietly, “What if we just kept driving south? Do you think we could make it to Baja?”

Her dad smiled and replied, “We’d need a truckload of oxygen.”

That moment became the inspiration for the illustration — a truck carrying a mountain of oxygen tanks, headed toward Baja.
For our team, the image represents so much more than a destination. It reflects the love within a family, the weight of difficult decisions, and the power of honoring someone’s wishes at the end of life.

We are so grateful this family shared their story — and their art — with us.
