The Denver Hospice

For over three decades, more than 60,000 patients and their family members have turned to us for care and comfort during difficult times.
As Colorado’s leader in hospice and palliative care we are committed to caring for everyone who comes through our door wherever they call home.
The Denver Hospice cares for the elderly at the end of their long, rich lives, those struck far too young by advanced illness, offers comfort to those who choose to battle their life-limiting illness, offers comfort and grief counseling to families and friends.

Our Partnership

 

 

Highlights of our Partnership:

  • Staff members at The Denver Hospice are proud of our partnership. There is almost universal knowledge of the partnership.

  • Selian is the most popular payroll deduction. We raise over $15,000 annually through monthly payroll deductions.

  • The Denver Hospice staff and Board have raised nearly $400,000 since our partnership began in 2001.

  • The Denver Hospice, with the generous support of Board members, has raised the money or assisted in finding funds for three vehicles and a motorcycle.

  • Over 24 staff and volunteers from The Denver Hospice have visited Selian.

  • Seven Selian Hospice staff members have visited The Denver Hospice.

  • The Denver Hospice staff and Board members raised the funds to buy and renovate a building so that Selian now has an office and training facilities. Now they can carry out their role as the national training center for home-based hospice in Tanzania.

  • The staff at Selian know that we care about them. We e-mail regularly, updating each other on our lives and the hospice work.


How our partnership fits into the larger picture:

Our partnership was created through the Foundation for Hospices in Sub Saharan Africa (FHSSA), a program of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO). There are currently 93 US-African hospice partnerships, including five in Colorado. The Denver Hospice/Selian Hospice partnership is one of the oldest and most active, and we serve as a mentor for new partnerships.
