Sometimes, it's the little things that make a big difference in someone's comfort and quality of life.

We're excited to share a new partnership between two Care Synergy affiliates, Colorado Visiting Nurse Association (CVNA) and The Denver Hospice (TDH), bringing CVNA's foot care services to TDH patients.

Foot care is an important, but sometimes overlooked, part of overall health and well-being, particularly for older adults.

Addressing foot care needs can help relieve discomfort, support mobility, and make everyday activities a little easier.

By bringing these services together, CVNA and TDH are finding another way to support patients through thoughtful, compassionate care.

It's a wonderful example of how collaboration across the Care Synergy network helps us better serve the people who count on us!

11/02/2026

November is National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, a time to recognize the compassionate care teams who support individuals and families through some of life's most challenging moments.

At Care Synergy, our mission is rooted in helping people receive the care, comfort, and support they need when it matters most. Through our network of nonprofit Affiliates, we support patients and families with compassionate care that honors each person's needs, values, and wishes.

This month, we celebrate the dedicated professionals, volunteers, and community partners who make this care possible. We also recognize the patients and families who remind us every day why this work matters.

Because everyone deserves compassion, dignity, and support when they need it most.

10/30/2026

This week, Care Synergy and our Affiliates shared knowledge, strengthened community partnerships, celebrated dedicated leaders, and found new ways to recognize the people at the heart of our mission.

Sharing knowledge and compassion

Pikes Peak Hospice & Palliative Care Veteran Liaison Sonya Bergeron led a Palliative Care Basics session for staff at Mt. Carmel Veterans Service Center, strengthening partnerships to better support veterans facing serious illness. https://caresynergynetwork.org/blog/18660/Strengthening-Partnerships-to-Support-Veterans-Through-Palliative-Care

Pathways’ Brooke Rambold also shared her expertise, presenting Navigating Grief as part of UCHealth Aspen Club’s Ducks in a Row series, helping older adults and families prepare for life’s important conversations and decisions. https://caresynergynetwork.org/blog/18763/Pathways-Helps-Close-UCHealth-Aspen-Club-s-Ducks-in-a-Row-Series-with-a-Conversation-About-Grief

Honoring those who make a difference

The Denver Hospice honored its first emeritus board members: Adele Phelan, Evi Makovsky, and Dr. David Scanavino. Their leadership and institutional knowledge have helped shape the organization and preserve its mission. https://caresynergynetwork.org/blog/18778/The-Denver-Hospice-Welcomes-Its-First-Emeritus-Board-Members

The Denver Hospice also treated employees to an ice cream social featuring Rocket Ice Cream. Team members who couldn’t step away from patient care and family support received their treats on the job, too. It was a sweet reminder that every team member matters. https://thedenverhospice.org/blog/18661/A-Sweet-Thank-You-to-the-Heart-of-The-Denver-Hospice

Inspiring the next generation

Pathways Rediscovered is partnering with Colorado State University students to explore new ways to connect with millennial and Gen Z shoppers through Instagram. Student teams recently shared their mid-project concepts, bringing fresh ideas to the mission of making secondhand shopping meaningful. https://caresynergynetwork.org/blog/18767/Fresh-Ideas-Shared-Purpose-Pathways-Rediscovered-Partners-with-Colorado-State-University-Students

Sharing our work with a wider audience

Care Synergy and our Affiliates also received media attention for their work and expertise:

• Forbes: A feature on practical, community-informed approaches to patient safety highlighted CAPABLE and its role in helping older adults live safely at home. https://caresynergynetwork.org/blog/18758/Care-Synergy-In-The-News-10-26-2026

• Forbes: An editorial exploring expanded Medicare coverage for long-term care discussed CAPABLE and how PACE-inspired adult day services could support a broader home- and community-based care benefit. https://caresynergynetwork.org/blog/18761/Care-Synergy-In-The-News-10-23-2026

• The Gazette’s Pikes Peak Courier: An article on navigating grief highlighted the bereavement team at Pikes Peak Hospice & Palliative Care and the importance of making space for loss and healing. https://caresynergynetwork.org/blog/18638/Care-Synergy-In-The-News-10-23-2026

As we head into another week, thank you to everyone who shares their knowledge, builds meaningful partnerships, supports our colleagues, and brings compassion to the people and communities we serve. Every story reflects the difference we make together.

10/27/2026

We’re proud to see Care Synergy and the CAPABLE National Center featured in Forbes!

The article, “Patient Safety Requires Practical, Community-Informed Solutions,” highlights the importance of developing real-world solutions that help people stay safer where they live, work and receive care.

CAPABLE (Community Aging in Place – Advancing Better Living for Elders) puts older adults at the center of their own care. By bringing together occupational therapists, nurses and trained home-care workers, the program helps older adults identify their goals, address safety challenges at home and maintain their independence.

This national recognition shines a spotlight on the power of community-informed approaches to fall prevention and the importance of helping older adults age safely in the homes they love.

Where Care Happens: Learning Alongside Our Frontline Teams

Some of the most meaningful lessons about care come from the people delivering it every day.

Dr. Emily Guth, Care Synergy Chief Operating Officer, has begun spending time alongside our frontline team members to better understand their day-to-day experiences — what is working well, where they encounter barriers, and how we can better support them.

In our first story, Emily spent time alongside Amalia McClurkin, Admission Coordinator II for The Denver Hospice, during a home EOS visit. What she witnessed was a beautiful example of compassion in action and a powerful reminder of the importance of keeping the patient’s wishes at the center of every conversation.

We’re proud to launch Where Care Happens: Learning Alongside Our Frontline Teams, a series recognizing the people behind the care we provide and sharing what we can learn from their experiences.

Read Amalia’s story and learn more about the “why” behind the work she does for patients and families: https://caresynergynetwork.org/blog/18753/Where-Care-Happens-Learning-Alongside-Our-Frontline-Teams

10/23/2026

Community. Connection. Learning. Those were some of the themes we saw across the Care Synergy network this week—and there was plenty happening!

Sharing innovative ideas for aging in place

Amanda Goodenow, Director of the CAPABLE National Center, and Tricia Ford, Care Synergy CEO Elect/Chief Operating Officer – Hospice/CAPABLE, recently attended the Fall 2026 NAACOS Conference. They connected with health care leaders from across the country and shared information about CAPABLE at an informational booth.

It was a great opportunity to introduce more organizations to CAPABLE’s innovative, person-centered approach to helping older adults live safely and independently at home.

Learning, connecting and growing with Colorado PACE

Colorado PACE has also been busy building connections and expanding its professional knowledge. Team members recently participated in the 2026 National PACE Association Annual Conference and the 2026 HUB Colorado Leadership Summit.

These events provide opportunities to learn from colleagues, share ideas, build relationships, and bring new perspectives back to the work we do every day.

See what Colorado PACE learned and brought home: https://caresynergynetwork.org/blog/18567/Learning-Connecting-and-Growing-Colorado-PACE-Invests-in-Professional-Development

Connecting people with community resources

Colorado PACE didn't just attend conferences—they hosted one, too!

Their recent Resource Fair brought together participants age 55+, authorized representatives, and community organizations to share information, assistance, and resources. Our friends and colleagues at The Denver Hospice were there as well, helping create meaningful face-to-face connections and answering questions about resources that may be helpful to participants and their loved ones.

Finding connection through music

Music has a special way of bringing people together—especially during meaningful and sometimes difficult moments.

At Pathways, music therapy is one of the ways our care teams help patients experience comfort, connection, and moments that matter. Recently, Pathways Music Therapy Intern Ethan Minard shared his musical gifts with patients, creating opportunities for connection through singing and music.

Read more about the power of music at Pathways: https://caresynergynetwork.org/blog/18622/The-Power-of-Music-Meaningful-Moments-at-Pathways

Connecting with Veterans through compassion and gratitude

Connection also means showing up for the people who have served our country.

During a recent visit to Mt. Carmel Veterans Service Center, Pikes Peak Hospice & Palliative Care Veteran Liaison Sonya Bergeron connected with Veterans and families to answer questions and share information about grief support, palliative care, and hospice services.

But she also helped create a different kind of connection: gathering signatures for thank-you cards that will be given to Pikes Peak Hospice & Palliative Care’s Veteran hospice patients in November.

It’s a simple gesture, but one with a powerful message. Each signature helps remind a Veteran that their service is remembered, appreciated, and honored.

We love seeing the many ways our Care Synergy Affiliates build connections in their communities—from sharing resources and knowledge to creating meaningful moments of gratitude.

Celebrating our chaplains

And finally, this week we’re celebrating some of our most important community connectors: the chaplains who serve patients and families across the Care Synergy network.

October 18–24 is Spiritual Care Week, a time to recognize chaplains and spiritual care providers who accompany people through some of life's most meaningful and challenging moments.

Across our Care Synergy Affiliates, chaplains support people of all faiths, spiritual traditions, and beliefs—as well as those who don't identify with a particular faith. They listen, offer comfort, honor individual beliefs and wishes, and provide a compassionate presence when it matters most.

Read more about our chaplains and Spiritual Care Week: https://caresynergynetwork.org/blog/18635/Healing-Through-Presence-and-Grace-Honoring-Our-Chaplains

What a week! From professional conferences and community resource fairs to music therapy and Veteran and spiritual care, we're reminded that so much of what we do comes back to one thing: connection.

Thank you to everyone across the Care Synergy Network who continues to make this such an active, collaborative, and inspiring place to work.

Honoring Our Chaplains During Spiritual Care Week

October 18–24 is Spiritual Care Week, a time to recognize and celebrate chaplains and spiritual care providers who bring compassion, comfort, and presence to people and families during some of life’s most meaningful and challenging moments.

This year’s theme, “Healing Through Presence and Grace,” features kintsugi—the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with precious metals. Kintsugi reminds us that the marks left by grief, loss, and difficult experiences can become part of a story of resilience, strength, and healing.

At Care Synergy Affiliates, our chaplains walk alongside patients and families with compassion and respect. They support people of all faiths, spiritual traditions, and beliefs, as well as those who do not identify with a particular faith.

Spiritual care may include prayer or religious rituals when requested, but it can also mean listening to a life story, exploring questions of meaning and purpose, sharing memories, or simply sitting quietly with someone who needs companionship.

Our chaplains don't have to have all the answers. Their greatest gift is often their willingness to be present.

During Spiritual Care Week, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the chaplains across Care Synergy Affiliates for the grace, compassion, and humanity they bring to every person and family they serve.
Thank you for reminding us that presence itself can be a powerful form of care.

This Week at Care Synergy

It was another active and productive week across the Care Synergy Network. Here are a few highlights!

Care Synergy and the CAPABLE National Center were awarded $1.5 million as part of the Elevance Health Foundation’s Inaugural Patient Safety Prize! Shantanu Agrawal, M.D., Chief Health Officer of Elevance Health, said, “The awardees of this year’s Patient Safety Prize demonstrate what’s possible when communities, clinicians, technologists, and public health leaders come together to design practical solutions that keep people safer – where they live, work, and receive care.” Learn more here: https://caresynergynetwork.org/blog/18562/Care-Synergy-and-CAPABLE-National-Center-Among-Winners-of-Inaugural-Patient-Safety-Prize-Through-Innovative-Community-Action-Leadership-Program

Monsters in your closet? Pathways Rediscovered is getting ready to open its doors in Loveland, and they’re inviting the community to help them stock the shelves! On Saturday, November 14, Pathways will host a special one-day Donation Drive from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Pathways Administrative Office, 305 Carpenter Road in Fort Collins. Clear out your closet and learn more here: https://caresynergynetwork.org/blog/18533/Help-Stock-the-Shelves-at-Pathways-Rediscovered

For older adults, maintaining health and independence can involve coordinating medical appointments, therapy, transportation, nutrition and opportunities to stay active and socially connected. Colorado PACE brings many of these essential services and supports together through one comprehensive program, helping make daily life a little easier for participants and their families. At the heart of the program is the Colorado PACE Day Center, a welcoming space where care, activity and community come together. Watch this video to learn more: https://caresynergynetwork.org/blog/18552/A-Look-Inside-the-Colorado-PACE-Day-Center

On Wednesday, The Denver Hospice welcomed 15 new volunteers who spent the day training and preparing to begin an important role in the organization. These new volunteers are joining a community of people who understand that hospice care is about much more than managing symptoms. It is about helping patients live as fully and comfortably as possible, supporting families and honoring each person’s unique journey. Volunteers are an essential part of making that possible. https://caresynergynetwork.org/blog/18581/The-Gift-of-Time-Welcoming-15-New-Volunteers-to-The-Denver-Hospice

And finally, grief support is coming to Woodland Park, and Miss Skye is helping to spread the word! Last Saturday, Pikes Peak Hospice & Palliative Care team members attended Community Resource Day at the Woodland Park Library, sharing information about grief and the support available to those navigating the loss of a loved one. The team had a special guest along for the day, too. Miss Skye, who helped demonstrate the comfort and connection our pet therapy program can provide, was a major hit with attendees! https://pikespeakhospice.org/blog/18577/Grief-support-close-to-home-Facing-the-Mourning-comes-to-Woodland-Park

Thanks to everyone across the Care Synergy Network who continue to make this such an active and inspiring place to work!

Preventable harm remains one of health care’s most urgent challenges, and community-informed innovation is part of the solution; it takes bold ideas, trusted partnerships, and a commitment to better outcomes. That’s why we’re proud to share that Care Synergy and The CAPABLE National Center have been selected as winners of Elevance Health Foundation’s inaugural Patient Safety Prize, launched through the organization’s Community Action Leadership program.

This support will help us advance our work in fall prevention and accelerate practical, community-informed solutions that improve patient safety and quality of care, especially for underserved communities.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to keep building this work alongside the patients, families, partners, and communities who shape it every day.

When organizations work together, our communities benefit.

Recently, Colorado Visiting Nurse Association and Colorado PACE teamed up to bring a Medical Foot Care clinic to the Colorado PACE Day Center, making it easier for participants to receive important preventive foot care in a familiar, convenient setting.

It’s a simple example of something we see throughout the Care Synergy network: when mission-driven organizations share resources, expertise and a commitment to the people they serve, new opportunities for collaboration can open doors to better care.

Foot health is about more than feet. Regular medical foot care can help identify changes in a person’s health, support mobility and help older adults remain active and independent.

We’re proud to see Colorado Visiting Nurse Association and Colorado PACE working together to help keep our community healthier, one step at a time.
