DENVER, CO - VITAS Innovative Hospice Care, the nation’s leading provider of end-of-life care, announced its partnership with Denver Health through a $2,500 endowment made by its charitable foundation, VITAS Community Connections (VCC)

The endowment made to the Denver Health Foundation will support Denver Health’s Chaplaincy Services and enable VITAS to help better inform Denver Health chaplains of key end-of-life issues such as hospice benefits, access to end-of-life care, and hospice bereavement for children and adults, as well as spiritual topics to help patients and their families at the end of life.

“VITAS is proud to partner with the Denver Health Foundation and its chaplains as part of our mission to help ensure that everyone who qualifies for hospice care can have access to these much-needed services,” said VITAS General Manager Max Truesdel. VITAS is the first hospice provider in Denver to make a donation of this kind.
