Pikes Peak Hospice expands inpatient care center in Colorado Springs
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) – A nonprofit hospice and palliative care center in El Paso County is expanding to allow for the intake of more patients.
Pikes Peak Hospice & Palliative Care will host a "Wall Breaking" ceremony on June 27 to celebrate the expansion. The upgrade will make room for the center to provide end-of-life care for 12 more families while creating more expansive respite care options for patients.
Representatives say that the facility always has a waiting list – and this change was made to address the growing population's need for care.
The center says they deliver medical care to over 2,000 patients every year.
The expansion will include a kitchen and family dining room, a multi-faith chapel, a veteran reflection room, and a children's play area, among other facilities.
Construction is expected to be completed by March 2025.
