Testimonials

"The only place my mother ever felt comfortable was in her home. I am eternally grateful to Sangre de Cristo Hospice & Palliative Care for making it possible for my mother to stay in her home, where she wanted to be, until she passed away. The staff was absolutely incredible, providing love, compassion, support, dignity and comfort to my mother and all of our family. There is no way that we could have gone through one of the hardest times in our lives without Sangre de Cristo Hospice!" Robin.

"We prayed that my husband would have a room at Hospice House when it was full. The care the Hospice staff provided made a big difference. My husband found comfort and I knew I wasn't alone. He died with dignity and I have cherished memories thanks to the caring staff. People need to know about Sangre de Cristo Hospice & Palliative Care and Hospice House. It's about living when the shift is made from cure to care." Jane, wife of Hospice House patient.

Mission

Background Statement

Sangre de Cristo Community Care was founded in 1985 as a non-profit hospice provider initially funded by the two primary hospitals in Pueblo – St. Mary-Corwin Medical Center and Parkview Medical Center. The call to care for those who are dying with the compassion exemplified in a hospice model was answered by committed volunteers who became the first staff and board members. In 2001, services expanded to include palliative care. In 2008, the Joni Fair Hospice House opened as the only inpatient facility in Southern Colorado dedicated to hospice care. Due to community needs and the closing of the only home health agency in Huerfano and Las Animas counties, Sangre expanded services to include home health care in 2019. To encompass all the programs that we now have, the decision was made to rebrand the organization and change our name to Sangre de Cristo Community Care in 2020. Today, Sangre de Cristo Community Care serves 16 counties throughout 23,000 square miles of Southern Colorado.
