For families in western Colorado who are experiencing the decline of a loved one, nonprofit HopeWest has an important message: “Know us before you need us.”

Serving western Colorado in Mesa, Delta, Montrose, Ouray, and Rio Blanco counties since 1993, HopeWest has been profoundly changing the experience of aging, illness and grief through creativity, volunteerism and philanthropy. Offering in-home care, palliative care, hospice care and grief support for children, teens and adults, the HopeWest team embodies service, compassion, kindness and understanding.

“We’re a patient-centric organization. Everything that we do is for our patients and their families,” explains Kelly Thompson, program director for the Montrose branch of HopeWest. “I’m never sure what impact I will have during the day, but when I wake up each morning, I wonder, ‘How am I going to change someone’s life today for the better?’”
