Hospice care is for any person with an advanced medical condition and a life expectancy of six months or less if the illness runs its normal course. Although in its first years hospice care served primarily cancer patients, today all life-threatening illnesses and conditions are included in hospice care.
In most cases, hospice services are paid for by Medicare, Medicaid or
private insurance. As a non-profit serving Larimer and Weld counties, Pathways
