When advice, care and recommendations are needed around hospice, the deacon can help with the journey no matter which hospice agency is chosen. The deacon works to make sure a patient is offered and receives Catholic services if desired, and that their Catholic faith is honored. Making sure the whole person is cared for, medical, spiritual, emotional, social/family, & financial issues are addressed. If you need advice on what hospice is, what it provides, and what is covered, or which of the 40 Colorado hospice agencies to choose, please reach out to the Hospice and Nursing Centers Ministry. The deacon in charge of this ministry can also share which agencies support/enable physician assisted suicide.
