Background Statement
Pikes Peak Hospice and Palliative Care is focused on providing specialized end-of-life care for patients and their families.
In the late 1970s, community volunteers Flo Carris and Susan Langstaff saw an opportunity to meet a profound need in the Colorado Springs community for end-of-life care. Joined by many volunteers and financial supporters, Carris and Langstaff established hospice care in El Paso County. Through this commitment, terminally ill individuals and their loved ones were ensured a compassionate, comfortable, and dignified life closure.
This vision became Pikes Peak Hospice & Palliative Care, now serving more than 2,200 patients and their families annually.
We believe that hospice care is about living, and that every patient and their family members deserve consistent expert care and compassionate personal attention during this journey.
