About HopeWest
About HopeWest
Created through a community-wide vision, our founders recognized the need for comprehensive, expert, and collaborative care for those facing aging, serious illness, and grief. HopeWest is a nonprofit, 501 ( c )( 3 ) organization serving western Colorado in Mesa, Delta, Montrose, Ouray, and Rio Blanco counties.
We cared for 117 patients and their families in 1993 – our first year of operation. Today, we serve more than 10,000 square miles with five offices, a state-of-the-art Care Center and the Bacon Center for Living Your Best. With a staff of 425 and more than 1,000 volunteers, we provide care to more than 2,250 patients and Participants, as well as more than 1,500 individuals coping with grief every year in the counties we serve.
We are so much more than a hospice or health care organization.
We have grown and expanded services to become a nationally respected model for creative and effective hospice and palliative care delivered in private homes, skilled nursing facilities, assisted-living facilities, and our own Hospice Care Center.
Our PACE program helps seniors age well through social activities, education, and medical services.

We provide extensive bereavement services for people of all ages. Adults receive individual counseling, grief education and group support. HopeWest Kids is the only program of its kind in western Colorado providing an extensive array of creative grief services, such as Itty Bitty Camp for preschoolers, Camp Good Grief for older children and Teen Retreats for teens, equestrian therapy, and grief support groups in all grade schools, middle schools, and high schools across the region.
We are woven into the communities we serve through our Board of Directors, Advancement Board, and Community Boards in every area where we have an office. Philanthropy is key to helping support the mission and is raised through grants, individual and corporate gifts, events and support from our retail businesses – Spoons bistro & bakery and Heirlooms for Hospice. Our unique retail outlets help to support our mission through the generosity of the communities we serve.
We’re proud of our tradition of collaboration and innovation alongside our generous communities. It’s our friends and neighbors across the Western Slope who make this type of care possible for anyone in need.
