Pikes Peak Hospice & Palliative Care

Pikes Peak Hospice & Palliative Care has been the community leader in hospice care for 41 years, founding the hospice movement in the Pikes Peak region.

Pikes Peak Hospice & Palliative Care has been the community leader in end-of-life care for almost 42 years, founding the hospice movement in the Pikes Peak region in 1980. We are the only nonprofit, community-based hospice in El Paso and Teller Counties.Every year, we help over 2,000 patients and families navigate the challenges of a life-limiting illness with comfort, dignity and fulfillment. In

a business like this, you don’t thrive for this long, nor serve as many patients as we have, without holding to a particular standard. Ours is simple: We believe that hospice care is about living and that every patient and family deserves consistent expert care and compassionate personal attention.

Service doesn't end when the uniform comes off—it simply takes on a new form.

We're honored to see longtime volunteer and retired U.S. Army Nurse Corps officer Joan Eitzen featured in Veterans Life Magazine.

Joan's remarkable military career spanned nearly three decades, and for almost 20 years she has continued her mission of service through volunteering with Pikes Peak Hospice & Palliative Care.

Her story is a powerful reminder that compassion, presence, and respect are lifelong acts of service. Thank you, Joan, for your dedication to veterans, patients, and families in our community.

Every Memorial Day, thousands of American flags transform Pikes Peak National Cemetery into a powerful tribute to those who served our nation.

This year, more than 200 volunteers came together with Pikes Peak Hospice & Palliative Care and Flags for Fallen Vets to place flags throughout the cemetery, ensuring every veteran is honored and remembered.

For Sonya Bergeron, Veteran Liaison at Pikes Peak Hospice & Palliative Care, the event reflects the strength of community partnerships and a shared commitment to honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Each flag tells a story. Each placement is an act of gratitude. And together, these thousands of small gestures create a moving reminder that our veterans will never be forgotten.

Watch our new video to see this meaningful tradition in action.

Special thanks to Tamma Phillips, Media Producer with Resilient Art Productions, for beautifully capturing the spirit and significance of this event.
