“Hospice has a special place in my heart,” explained Karen. “Both of my parents received compassionate end-of-life care in the comfort of their home, which meant the world to me and my family. This experience made me a lifelong supporter of the mission of hospice. I have always known about the exceptional reputation of Mount Evans, and I am proud to be a part of this amazing team now. I am grateful for this opportunity to build meaningful relationships, garner support, and further the mission of Mount Evans, which is to provide quality home health, palliative, and hospice care to our mountain community.”
