Letter from our
President
From this point, Pathways – known at the
time as Hospice of Larimer County – steadily
grew to serve more and more patients in need.
By the early 2000s, we were ready for a new
building dedicated specifically to our Pathways
for Grief & Loss counseling program and
successfully completed a $2.8 million capital
campaign for our current location in 2005.
Today, 40 years after our humble start,
Pathways is the leading nonprofit provider
of hospice, palliative care, and grief support
services in Northern Colorado. On a yearly
basis, we serve more than 1,200 hospice
patients, have seen more than 1,500 palliative
care visits, and have touched the lives of
people throughout our bereavement programs
more than 2,000 times.
A Vintage Affair: Mark Your
Calendars for July 27!
Pathways is already looking forward to our 2018 A Vintage Affair
event! This year, A Vintage Affair will be held on Friday, July 27 in the
Lory Student Center Grand Ballroom at Colorado State University from

As always, we are immensely grateful for our presenting sponsor

more than 300 guests to enjoy 200 varieties of fine wines, craft brews

I am immeasurably grateful for the dedicated
staff members, volunteers and donors who
have allowed Pathways to spend the past
four decades serving our community with
compassionate care. Pathways has established
ourselves as both the originators and
innovators in end-of-life care in Northern
Colorado, and we look forward to many more
years of serving our community.

In 1978, Pathways was established by a
small group of volunteer nurses shortly after
a patient with a terminal illness requested
hospice care. Initially serving just 17 patients,
the organization soon expanded to include
professional staff. In the mid-1980s, we got
licensed by the Colorado Department of Health
and became a Medicare-certified program.
As many members of our community are aware,
2018 marks Pathways’ 40-year anniversary. The
past four decades have seen several milestones
and accomplishments that have brought us to
where we are at today.
Although we are only a few
months into 2018, I am already
confident that this year will bring
much to celebrate. We have many
exciting developments on the
horizon that I look forward to
sharing with each of you.
